Is AI an intelligent agent?

Or is there a totally different way that we should be thinking about this?

Perhaps it's more like a piece of cultural technology.

What in the world is cultural technology?

And how would rethinking this change the way we approach what to do

next? And what does any of this have to do with the myth of the golem or Socrates or the printing

press or Martin Luther or the story of stone soup?

Welcome to Intercosmos with me, David Eagleman.

I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford.

And in these episodes, we examine brains and the world around us to understand who we are and where we're going.

Thank you. and where we're going. You're listening to an I-heart podcast.

I'm Soledad O'Brien, and on my new true crime podcast, Murder on the Toe Path,

I'm taking you back to 1964 to the cold case of artist Mary Pinch O'Meyer.

She had been shot twice in the head and in the back.

It turns out, Mary was connected to a very powerful man.

I pledge you that we shall neither commit nor provoke aggression.
