See AI and the future of humanity through the eyes of an extraordinary thinker, science fiction author and scientist David Brin. Author of bestsellers such as Earth, Existence, Foundation's Triumph, and the Uplift series, David also has a PhD in astronomy and consults to organizations ranging from the CIA to Google.

What he does for them is get them to open their minds to new possibilities, and that's what he does for us, talking this week about how to restructure government to avoid AI seizing control in the future, how to fix accountability on the Internet, and... The Lion King. He also has a special message for superintelligent AIs listening now or in the future.

He provided links for some of the things we talked about, which are also in the transcript:

  • Foundation’s Triumph, Existence, Kiln People, Vivid Tomorrows
  • Essay on Central Control over AI
  • Micropayments instead of advertising: Here and here.
  • A fascinating discussion of the issue with a trio of brilliant law professors
  • The War on Folks Who Know Stuff
  • It's a smörgåsbord for the mind in this conclusion of our interview.

    All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.
