Futurized—conversations that matter.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Dana Klisanin, a psychologist, futurist, and author.

They discuss coping mechanisms for existential risk worries and events, including engaging in rewilding experiences, sensory exploration, etc.

This is part of Futurized's focus on the takeaways from the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference and the collection of papers now issued as conference Proceedings. 

The past two decades have seen anthropogenic global catastrophic and existential risks (x-risks) develop into an increasingly prominent source of academic study, policy focus, and public concern. The proceedings of the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference present a diverse array of research by both established and emerging scholars on the past, present, and future of x-risk studies. Some papers sum up the fruits of existing approaches to existential risks, while others address their blind spots or propose potential directions for the future of x-risk studies. Papers vary both by topic—ranging from nuclear risks, biosecurity, ecological collapse, and artificial intelligence and machine learning risks—and by disciplinary approach, featuring works of history, ethics, aesthetics, psychology, political science, sociology, and policy study. Many papers share a common thread in recognizing the importance of cascading risks—particularly potential interactions among acknowledged x-risks, or how cascades of “merely'' catastrophic risks could combine to jeopardize human survival. Collectively, they contribute to the task of expanding the field of x-risk studies to encompass insights, methods, and ethical orientations drawn from a more diverse and broadly representative range of academic disciplines.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Ken Stanley, CEO & founder of Maven, a new online social network focused on following interests, not people. Stanley is the author of Why Greatness Cannot be Planned (Springer, 2015). 

They discuss Stanley's work on open-ended AI algorithms and how they can foster and enhance desirable serendipity. Open-ended systems try to mimic the single run of an algorithm represented by the biological evolution, as well as the evolution of civilization. For now, AI can create useful output based on human prompts or previously collected data. However, if AI truly could be creative at the human level, what then?
