Artificial Intelligence and You
Technology
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .
Exponential technology such as artificial intelligence causes the complexity of our world to explode. How do we address complexity as an existential risk in itself? Enter Dr. Thomas Homer-Dixon, director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University, in British Columbia. He describes himself as a Complex Systems Theorist, and has a PhD from MIT in international relations, defense and arms control policy, and conflict theory.
His research has focused on threats to global security in the 21st century, including economic instability, climate change, and energy scarcity. He and the Cascade Institute study how people, organizations, and societies can better resolve their conflicts and innovate in response to complex problems.
In our talk, we discuss his latest book, Commanding Hope, and the role of hope in empowering us to tackle our biggest problems.
All that and our usual look at today's headlines in AI.
