AI or artificial intelligence is at the forefront of some of the most fundamental questions to have ever been faced by humanity. At the very same time it opens to us possibilities that could completely reshape our perceptions of human life on this and perhaps even other plants. The goal of this podcast is to explore these possibilities through holding discussions and conversations with some of the most interesting researchers, about their work, research and ideas in the field of AI and its impacts on humanity.
