Tech Takeover: Artificial Intelligence and the Fate of Humanity

How much can we trust the technology that dictates nearly all our waking moments? How do technological advances, from AI to crypto, help but also harm us? In The Intelligence Explosion, filmmaker James Barrat traces the rise of generative AI through interviews with AI experts to raise the alarm about the consequences of our rapidly evolving technological landscape. In The Age of Extraction, scholar and former White House official Tim Wu reveals the perils of the internet, charting how technological platforms have further widened class divides and extracted money, data, and attention from users. In a discussion moderated by former CEO of Indeed, Chris Hyams, these technology experts invite us to think critically about our heavily programmed future.
