Imagining Life With Super Intelligence with Akshay Chopra
About this episode
Technology innovator Akshay Chopra joins the Futurists to discuss his new book: “After Us: A Tale of Life Beyond Superintelligent AI.” In this work of speculative fiction, Chopra posits scenarios of a world dominated by a benevolent superintelligence. Topics include: the challenge of envisioning a positive outcome in a world organized by AI; the perils of AI-induced delusions; AI as an evolution of mankind, not a substitute for humanity; the Dataism philosophy and the Panspermia hypothesis; the appeal and relevance of magical realism; how AI denialism is a form of grief processing as we mourn the loss of our status as a species; the struggle to think exponentially instead of linearly; the threats that Akshay thinks we should be concerned about.
