Is AI Development Modern Chaos Magic? (w/ Trevor Paglen)
About this episode
Douglas Rushkoff and Trevor Paglen discuss the implications of AI and computer vision on society and perception.
We once looked at pictures. Now, pictures are looking back at us. Renowned artist and author Trevor Paglen joins Rushkoff to expose how computer vision, generative AI, and algorithmic feedback loops are fundamentally reformatting human perception, labor, and democracy itself. What happens to a society when its default assumption becomes that all media is untethered from reality? In this episode of Team Human, Douglas Rushkoff sits down with artist, activist, and geographer Trevor Paglen to discuss his groundbreaking new book, How to See Like a Machine: Images After AI. 🌍 Your support keeps Team Human alive!
