This episode of Animated Intelligence is the one that has it all. Straight from the cutting-edge brain-storms at last week's SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles, ground zero for the emergent phenomena of AI Salons and AI LA. As you'll hear, the emergent theme is a radical reconfiguration of the public discussion of AI with a multidisciplinary perspective on our evolutionary arc as a globally networked society and culture. We begin to weave together the threads of media theory, philosophy, psychology, telecommunications technology, and self-organizing systems that we have been exploring step by step this season as we build up a clear picture of our current medium and what happens next. Join us as we state the case for an evolutionary new branch of the collective unconscious in the age of AI. An ultra-low latency cerebral cortex to fit atop the adolescent brainstem of our current Internet.
