Kevin Kelly - AI Will Make Humans Better, Not Irrelevant

Future Thinkers - En podkast av Mike Gilliland and Euvie Ivanova

This is the second part of our interview with Kevin Kelly, the founding editor of Wired magazine, former publisher of the Whole Earth Review, and author of many books, including his latest one called "The Inevitable" (https://goo.gl/78orqo), which forecasts the twelve technological forces that will shape the next thirty years. In this part, we look at how artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness will shape the future of work and life, what will make humans uniquely useful in this scenario, and reasons to be optimistic for the future. In This Episode of Future Thinkers: What technology wants: the biases of technium, or technology viewed as a whole system Deep engagement with technology as the only way to become aware of its wants Inevitable vs. unpredictable developments of technology New sharing economy and the transition of value from owning to the benefit of access Smart environment - the idea of superabundance or fulfilling all life needs on demand Flattening of hierarchical structures and the cost of decentralization at scale Why the idea of a global government meets resistance on both left and right side of political spectrum Mobility as a universal human right and why next generation cities and states will compete for humans How we can work together with different varieties of conscious AIs in the future Asking good questions — a uniquely human trait that cannot be replicated by AIs Possible future professions related to AI industry like AI curator or AI whisperer Implications of AI safety movement and the inconsistent ethics of humans Decentralizing manifestations of AR — mixed reality world Censorship concerns in a post-ownership society Why studying history can make us optimistic about the future Show notes: http://www.futurethinkers.org/85 Join the Future Thinkers Community on Discord: https://www.futurethinkers.org/discord This episode is sponsored by: http://www.futurethinkers.org/qualia Recommend a sponsor for Future Thinkers: http://www.futurethinkers.org/recommend Support us on Patreon: http://www.futurethinkers.org/support
