Episode Description from the Publisher

What if AI is not just a technological revolution, but also a spiritual and ethical reckoning? Flynn Coleman, human rights lawyer, ethicist, and author of The Human Algorithm, teaches us that AI is a mirror, reflecting our deepest biases, our collective blind spots, and the power dynamics that shape who gets to build the future we all must live in. Flynn does not shy away from the uncomfortable truths. But she also offers us something more powerful than fear: the refusal to surrender. This is a conversation about power, about who gets to build the future, and about the sacred responsibility we all hold to reclaim our agency, our imagination, and our humanity in a world that is trying to automate it away. 🍇 This is Soul Snack — a snippet from a longer Soul Session.
