Description

<p>Today, we are sharing a special episode from <a href="https://play.megaphone.fm/hrdfjy6urio9nqwvd3v5ag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">No Small Endeavor</a>, the Signal Award-winning podcast that explores what it means to live a good life through conversations about culture, ideas, and the habits that help people flourish.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is the first instalment of their new two-part series, “The Human Cost of AI.” In part one, host Lee C. Camp examines artificial intelligence through a sobering insight: every ship we build also creates the possibility of a shipwreck. The question is not whether AI will save us or destroy us, but how our own formation may already be the collateral damage of its rise.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To trace the human cost of AI, the series follows three fault lines: tools, sex, and money. Camp also brings together leading scholars and technologists, including computer scientist Josh Brake, MIT professor Rosalind Picard, and journalist Garrett Graff, to discuss how these technologies shape our habits and desires, and how they are shaped by the systems of power we live within.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To listen to part two of the series, follow <a href="https://play.megaphone.fm/hrdfjy6urio9nqwvd3v5ag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">No Small Endeavor</a> on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite podcast app.</p>
