There are many lenses through which we can view the world, and that’s especially true when considering the technologies associated with artificial intelligence. In this episode, James Bridle, author of Ways of Being, joins to explore a multitude of perspectives relating to our ongoing relationship with technology.
James’ book explores the interplay between animals, plants, and machines in the search for planetary intelligence. James offers a broad vision of “thinking” systems that draws from biology, physics, and computation and spurs an investigation of what a corporation is and could become.
Robb, Josh, and James have a dynamic discussion, trying on various lenses for viewing intelligence and uncovering new ideas about technology along the way.
