With so much uncertainty and the rise of AI and the energy crises, what does the future hold? Joining Dr. Rob on Soul Sessions is renowned futurist, humanist, keynote speaker and bestselling author, Gerd Leonhard. They confront the immediacy of our global crossroads—where technology whispers promises of a utopia, yet casts shadows of a potential dystopia. 

While exploring these complex dimensions, Gerd offers profound insights into our collective future—the dreams, the dangers, and the decisions that stand before us. Looking at the ethics of technological advancements with the urgent shift toward sustainability, Gerd and Dr. Rob urge humanity to envision a “Good Future.”

In this episode, we discuss:

• Gerd's philosophy on competent machines vs. conscious machines and its impact on our future;
• The ethical conundrums posited by genetic engineering, such as cloning and human enhancement;
• Strategies for global cooperation to tackle climate change and the energy transition;
• The essential narrative shift towards a positive future, as coined by Kevin Kelly's "protopia", and the actionable steps to get there.
