Craig Kaplan: Beyond Human: The Culture of Superintelligence


Listen Later

In this premiere episode, Nicholas Clements-Lindsey sits down with Dr. Craig Kaplan, an AI researcher and technology ethicist, to explore the evolution of artificial intelligence and the idea of superintelligence - a future in which machines surpass human reasoning.

They discuss the collaboration between AI and humans, the moral framework guiding AI development, and the cultural consequences of teaching machines to think. The conversation moves between philosophy, technology, and human empathy — asking not only what AI can do, but what it should do.
