Alive to This: AI & Human Futures

by Alive to This with Eleanor Gammell

What does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Alive to This is a series of roundtable conversations about a moment that is hard to make sense of and impossible to ignore. AI is reshaping how we work, decide and imagine the future. Underneath, something is fraying - our sense of connection, our trust, our capacity to make meaning together. Hosted by Eleanor Gammell, each chapter brings together people who rarely share a room - scientists, philosophers, former prime ministers, neuroscientists, Indigenous leaders, filmmakers, policymakers. They gather not to trade headlines or defend positions, but to meet what this moment is asking of us. To make sense of what is at stake and how we might steward this technology wisely in the narrow window we have for generations to come. Guests include AC Grayling, Malcolm Turnbull, Krista Tippett, Gina Chick, Luke Kemp, Sarah Wilson, Chanel Contos, Tiberio Caetano and Catriona Wallace. www.alivetothis.com Hosted on Acast.
