Carl M.A. Arden - Exploring Humanity's Future with AI and Global Risks in New Book
Welcome to Compassiviste Dialogues. I'm Ali, your host, and my mission with this podcast is to shed light on critical social and environmental issues worldwide, exploring avenues for positive change.
ABOUT GUEST:
Swedish-born author Carl M.A. Arden has a background in business and international relations. He studied economics and management at Oxford and completed an MBA at London Business School. He worked as a diplomat in Moscow and completed one peacekeeping tour in Kosovo before moving into different roles in corporate finance. He is fascinated by future trends, disruptive technologies, socio-political and economic systems, risks and probabilities, sustainable development and all creative arts. The Dystopian Utopia is his first book.
KEY NOTES:
Existential Risks: Carl Ma explains how the increasing power of technologies like nuclear weapons, biotechnology, and AI carries significant existential risks due to humanity’s limited moral progress.
Nature of Competition: The discussion delves into how competition has driven human progress and conflict, and the need to balance competitive drives with cooperative frameworks.
Role of AI: Carl discusses AI's accelerating development and its potential to either pose significant risks or act as a stabilizing force if appropriately harnessed.
Socio-Economic Structures: Addressing the limitations of current systems, the dialogue explores the need for radical, inclusive socio-economic shifts to handle future global challenges.
Virtual Solutions: The concept of moving towards a virtual existence to mitigate real-world risks is discussed as a controversial but possible solution.
