Summary
When artificial intelligence can fulfill our deepest drives and reward pathways more reliably than any human relationship, what happens to human connection, meaning, and purpose?
Today, we’re exploring the world of artificial intelligence with a man who's part technologist, part philosopher, and also happens to be a former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu national champion.
My guest, Daniel Faggella, is a researcher who's been studying the intersection of human potential and artificial intelligence for well over a decade.
In this mind-bending episode, we're diving deep into what it means to be human in an increasingly artificial world.
We unpack heavy concepts today, like:
- How will AI reshape and redefine the human experience?
- What happens when our digital companions become more compelling than our flesh-and-blood relationships?
- How can we use AI right now to help us be more productive, happy, and develop our full potential?
- And much more…
