AI is being sold as one of the greatest advancements of our time. A tool that could transform how we work, learn, heal, create and live. But like everything, the real question is not just what AI can do. It is how it is being used, who is controlling it, what it is costing, and what it may be changing in us. In this important conversation, I’m joined by Kim Dammegard from Awake & Unite to explore the good, the bad and the ugly of artificial intelligence. We talk about AI and censorship, data harvesting, surveillance, regulation, energy and water use, jobs, human relationships, health, spirituality, and what happens when convenience starts replacing human thinking, intuition and real-world skills. We also explore whether there is a grounded, practical way to move into an AI future without losing our humanity, our health, our discernment, or our connection to nature and each other. This is not a black-and-white conversation. It is about asking better questions now, before we drift into a future we did not consciously choose. ———————————————— In this conversation we discuss: ✅ what AI actually is and how it is evolving ✅ the difference between AI and AGI ✅ censorship and filtered information ✅ regulation, surveillance and data privacy ✅ AI in health, holistic health and personalised medicine ✅ AI and the loss of human skills, intuition and critical thinking ✅ energy use, water use and environmental cost ✅ robotics, warfare and control systems ✅ jobs, dependency and the future of work ✅ why balance, awareness and human connection matter more than ever ———————————————— Kim Dammegard is an artist, researcher and the voice behind Awake & Unite.
