This is an interview with Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, and AGI researcher for many decades.

This is the third episode in a 5-part series about "AGI Destinations" - where we unpack the preferable and non-preferable futures humanity might strive towards in the years ahead.

I often recommend Ben's "Cosmist Manifesto" as a relatively frank and honest take on posthuman / AGI futures: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmist-Manifesto-Practical-Philosophy-Posthuman/dp/0984609709

About The Trajectory:

AGI and man-machine merger are going to radically expand the process of life beyond humanity -- so how can we ensure a good trajectory for future life?

From Yoshua Bengio to Nick Bostrom, from Michael Levin to Peter Singer, we discuss how to positively influence the trajectory of posthuman life with the greatest minds in AI, biology, philosophy, and policy.
