Thomas R Weaver is a tech entrepreneur and author of Artificial Wisdom, a new novel centred around whether AI might sacrifice certain human freedoms in the pursuit of saving humanity from itself.

Set in 2050, Artificial Wisdom’s vividly realised dystopia forces readers to grapple with hard-hitting questions about our relationship with AI, as well as the climate crisis and the price we’d be willing to pay for salvation. 

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Thomas to discuss:

• Inspiration for Artificial Wisdom
• AI predictions and worst-case scenario
• Recent AI regulation and legislation
