Ethical Power Checking AI, Technocracy and Transhumanism With Manuj Aggarwal
(Ai assisted:) I sit down with Manuj Aggarwal, a seasoned technologist with over 30 years of experience and four AI patents. We explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and ethics. Manuj shares his journey from working with tech giants like Microsoft and IBM to developing AI solutions that empower individuals and communities. Manuj talks about the potential of AI to enhance personal growth. I bring up the ethical challenges of data and technocracy, and the balance between technological progress and spiritual wisdom while drawing some minor parallels with Buddhist philosophy. I have Manuj address concerns about transhumanism, digital IDs, and social control, emphasizing the importance of self-responsibility and intentionality in navigating the AI-driven future. This episode offers a thought-provoking blend of technology, spirituality, and practical insights for embracing AI as a tool for inner and outer transformation.
