The Trajectory

This is an interview with Dr. Yoshua Bengio, Turing Award Winner and Scientific Director of the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms.

This is the first episode in a 5-part series about "AGI Destinations" - where we unpack the preferable and non-preferable futures humanity might strive towards in the years ahead.

About The Trajectory:

AGI and man-machine merger are going to radically expand the process of life beyond humanity -- so how can we ensure a good trajectory for future life?

From Yoshua Bengio to Nick Bostrom, from Michael Levin to Peter Singer, we discuss how to positively influence the trajectory of posthuman life with the greatest minds in AI, biology, philosophy, and policy.

There three main questions we'll be covering on the Trajectory: 

1. Who are the power players in AGI and what are their incentives? 

2. What kind of posthuman future are we moving towards, or should we be moving towards? 

3. What should we do about it? 

If this sounds like it's up your alley, I'm glad to have you here.
