Are we headed irreversibly towards catastrophe or do we have what it takes to fundamentally remake our world in time, sustainably, regeneratively and equitably? If so, who are the people and organisations that drive the transition to a sustainably regenerative negative carbon economy and a better life for all? To shed some light on these questions we have created Reboot2030, a Democracy School Press podcast and YouTube channel that engages transformational leaders in ongoing dialogues about their vision and work. unruhe.substack.com

  1. AI. We Know the Risks. Now What?

    2024. 08. 06.

    AI. We Know the Risks. Now What?

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Yoshua Bengio. Watch on YouTube. As AI rapidly advances towards human-level capabilities, the debate over its regulation intensifies. Some argue that regulation is futile and open-source AGI will drive progress, but these perspectives overlook critical risks. Unchecked market forces and geopolitical competition could lead to catastrophic outcomes, but we still have the power to shape a safer future. In this dialogue, we revisit the potentially catastrophic risks of superhuman AI systems and explore multifaceted approaches to contain, manage, and mitigate these risks. Our discussion extends to regulation and legislation, examining necessary protective laws and their global implementation status. We also address the critical need for effective governance and oversight, exploring potential global architectures to manage AI development. Ignoring AI risks is not akin to Pascal's wager; the probabilities of severe consequences are real and substantial. We explore how effective regulation, drawing on flexible, principle-based legislation, can balance innovation with safety. Additionally, we examine the double-edged nature of open-source AI: historically beneficial, yet posing significant misuse risks as capabilities grow. Joining us is Yoshua Bengio, Full Professor at the University of Montreal, Founder and Scientific Director of Mila, and recipient of the 2018 A.M. Turing Award. A pioneering figure in AI and deep learning, Yoshua brings crucial insights to this dialogue on developing comprehensive policies for safe AGI.

    The AI Cybercrime Revolution: Costs, Consequences, and Countermeasures

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with John Davenport. Watch on YouTube. Studies show that identity fraud cost $52 billion globally in 2021, with ransomware costs potentially reaching an astonishing $265 billion annually by 2031. In this episode of Reboot2030, we examine AI's impact on cybersecurity, focusing on its potential to revolutionise cybercrime through sophisticated attacks and misinformation campaigns targeting individuals, businesses, and democratic institutions alike. We'll explore some of the social and economic risks and associated costs of AI-enabled cybercrime on individuals, societies, and markets, and discuss government and institutional responses, including the need for effective multi-lateral cyber-deterrence strategies. Joining us for this dialogue is John Davenport, a philosophy professor at Fordham University specialising in moral and political philosophy, including democratic theory, human rights, and global governance. A prominent thinker, he has written extensively on contemporary threats to democracy and is the author of The Democracy Amendments (Anthem, 2023) and A League of Democracies (Routledge, 2018).

    Hacking the Future: Solarpunk's Vision for a Sustainable World

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Pawel Ngei Watch on YouTube. In an era of multiple global crises – from the climate emergency, to rising populism and the existential threats posed by rapid developments in AI – positive visions of a sustainable and regenerative future are urgently needed. This episode of Reboot2030 explores solarpunk, an emergent movement gaining traction for its life-affirming outlook. We unpack its potential for revitalising democracy and social movements, examine how solarpunks propose balancing technological advancement with sustainability, and explore ways of democratising big tech in an age of techno-feudalism to enable the emergence of alternative social structures. Joining us is Pawel Ngei, a hacker and solarpunk researcher focusing on narratives of technology in culture, especially climate futurism. He works with Global Innovation Gathering, collaborating with inventors and educators from the Global South to discover new, community-based perspectives on tech and culture. Pawel blogs at alxd.org and co-writes the Solarpunk Prompts podcast. To never miss a Reboot Dialogue, if you haven't done so already, subscribe to our newsletter here.

    Navigating Africa: A Digital Revolution in the Making?

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Jean-Désiré Kouassi. Digitalisation is a key driver of both economic and social development, not only in the industrialised world, but increasingly also in developing countries – with all the downsides and risks this implies. In this Reboot Dialogue, Jean-Désiré Kouassi tells us about how Be Digit Wise advocates against online propaganda and fake news; and how they equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively utilize digital media and safely navigate the internet. Jean-Désiré founded Be Digit Wise in 2020 and has since trained over 1,500 young leaders in digital literacy and skills.

    Fighting Climate Change the Zambian Way

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Akufuna Muyunda. In Zambia, climate change sparks severe repercussions: crop failures afflict six million families; dwindling rainfall deepens water scarcity, impacting rural life; diseases like malaria surge, straining health systems; smallholder farmers suffer livelihood losses, prompting diversification efforts; and rampant deforestation worsens environmental degradation, heightening climate risks. These interconnected challenges demand immediate action, highlighting the urgent need for global cooperation in addressing climate change's disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities in Africa and beyond. Our guest today to talk about the impact of climate change in Zambia is Akufuna Muyunda. He is an award-winning climate leader and social entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in environmental advocacy. He is also the founder of Young Volunteers for Environment Zambia and serves as volunteer Director of Green Investments at the Farmers Development Cooperative Union.

    European Elections: Risks and Possible Scenarios

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Susanna Cafaro Europe over the past ten years has seen a tectonic shift to the right, both at the level of member states, and at the European level. But what exactly does that mean? How will this shift affect European policy, relations between member states and indeed the European Union itself, or rather European ‘supranational’ democracy – both in the short- and in the long term? In this podcast we explore these questions and ask how can Europe defend itself against a sustained attack from far-right populists and anti-European nationalists? Joining us for this discussion is Susanna Cafaro, a leading European federalist and professor of European Union law at the University of Salento (Italy). More information about Susanna Cafaro is available via our contributors’ page. Also of interest to viewers/listeners might be the Supranational Democracy Dialogue Susanna hosts every year.

    Europe at a Time of War

    Nico Andreas Heller in conversation with Roberto Castaldi Europe is now facing multiple serious threats, internally via right-wing populists and nationalists, and externally, because of the ongoing war in Ukraine and other geopolitical conflicts and risks around the world. Global warming and migration act as fuel and further exaggerate these divisions along nationalist/populist versus liberal/federalist lines, with the populist camp increasingly gaining the upper hand not only within European member states, but at a European level as well. In this podcast we ask: should we be concerned? How significant are these developments, and how will they play out if current trends persist? We will also be looking at the EU’s plans for eastward expansion with regards to Ukraine and Moldovia and talk about the challenges the EU faces in rapidly establishing an integrated European defence force. Roberto Castaldi is a European federalist. He holds a PhD in international relations in the area of European integration and is an Associate Professor of Political Philosophy at eCampus University in Italy. He is also the CEO of the International Centre for European and Global Governance, co-edits Perspectives on Federalism and is the General Editor of EURACTIV Italy.
