589th 1Mby1M Entrepreneurship Podcast with Sramana Mitra, Man and Superman: Part 1

Posted on Wednesday, May 8th 2024

In this talk from 2019, I speak about Man and Superman – the impact of how AI-driven augmentation of the human species will render one part of civilization – MAN – extinct. The other part, the part that becomes enhanced by AI, will thrive. This enhanced Superman will compose music like Beethoven, write poetry like Tagore, make scientific discoveries like Einstein, etc. Do we still consider this AI-enhanced species Mankind? Maybe not. But that’s beside the point. This enhanced organism is the direction in which evolution is taking us. This is the future of Artificial Intelligence. There will be Superman in the not too distant future.

590th 1Mby1M Entrepreneurship Podcast with Sramana Mitra, The Future of Capitalism

Posted on Tuesday, May 7th 2024

When I gave this talk in 2016, I spoke on the Future of Capitalism. I discussed how mass-scale automation engineered by Artificial Intelligence stands to render human beings useless. With nothing to do. With no mechanism to earn a livelihood. The Economic impact of AI on society was my primary concern. My general conclusion was that we need Universal Basic Income – a form of economic redistribution – to keep society from spinning out of control. This conclusion is now, by and large, an accepted remedy in a world that is about to go through extensive automation. However, it is likely to take a couple of decades to fully infiltrate society. So we’re not quite going to a post-work world immediately.
