Ep. 121 – AI and the Amputation of Human Expression with John Johnson
Magnus Podcast Episode 121 Does AI Dream of Electric Consciousness?: AI and the Amputation of Human Expression with guest (host?) John Johnson. Executive Director Emeritus and former host of the Magnus Podcast John Johnson joins Joshua Mazrin to discuss AI and our lessening ability to do things for ourselves. Is AI an inherent enemy? A necessary evil? Is it morally neutral of itself? Can the human mind be boiled down to ones and zeroes? You can guess the answer, but AI probably can't. Tune in for more.
