Born Supremacy - AI as a Pale Shadow of Real Humanity

Born Supremacy - AI as a Pale Shadow of Real Humanity

By Gresham College

Overview

In this lecture, we glimpse our best selves and compare that to a world where we lose everything of ourselves to AI.

In this lecture, we glimpse our best selves and compare that to a world where we lose everything of ourselves to AI. We are glorious creations that revel in agency, freedom and creativity. What do innovations such as cars that don’t need us to drive and creative AIs that remove the effort of, say, writing or music making mean in this context? Further, with a future being forged by limited perspectives, how can human diversity inform better AI for all?  

A lecture by Professor Matt Jones.
