The Human Algorithm

Vincent Marsland and Jan Gunash are the co-founders of CoeusAI, a firm that works with governments and energy operators , using the mathematics of civilisational risk. In this third episode of The Human Algorithm, Vincent and Jan make the case that the question isn't whether AI and the energy transition will reshape the world, but rather who gets to decide what counts as an acceptable risk, and whether that's ever the same people who live with the consequences. We cover the energy grids we're not prepared for, the data centres that broke every forecasting model, the offshore wind farms that could power two Halifaxes, and how truth itself became a gated community. 

Ren Kamal is an entrepreneur, educator, women's health advocate, and the founder of Reni, a platform that helps women and their families better understand the female hormonal cycle. In this second episode of The Human Algorithm, Ren makes the case for a reversal of the modern healthcare paradigm: from reactive to preventive. We also explore why 80% of marriage breakdowns happen in midlife, what it means to show up for the people you love, and why the most powerful thing technology can do is help make humans human again.

Grayson Bass is an Innovation & Foresight Leader, TEDx speaker, and former Global Lead for Innovation at the United Nations Quality of Life Initiative. He works in innovation and deeply distrusts technology. In this first episode of The Human Algorithm, Grayson makes the case that there is no technology path to humanity, only a human path to better technology. We cover E.O. Wilson's recipe for disaster, why compassion is the fundamental foundation of reality, and what it means to suit up for Team Human.
