Why humans should merge with AI | D. Scott Phoenix
About this episode
D. Scott Phoenix discusses the potential merger between humans and AI, emphasizing the importance of understanding the implications of this evolution.
Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we're on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines. Reframing the AI debate through the lens of evolutionary biology, he shifts the question from whether we should fear or embrace AI to whether we understand what's at stake if we get it wrong. Hear his provocative case for why we need to "eat the AI." After the talk, Sherrell interviews Baratunde Thurston, host of Life with Machines, on how to live well with technology. Hosted on Acast.
