Summary
When Aisha Malik’s mother died, she took a secret with her—one that destroyed her relationship with Aisha’s brother, Sam. But what if Aisha could revive her mother’s brain just long enough to reenact their last conversation and discover the truth?
Aisha is an ambitious PR executive with a forte for making complex and controversial topics accessible to the masses. Her brother, Sam, is a despondent genius who loves to fight everyone and everything in the name of justice, hopping from one political fight to another and hiding a mental illness that causes him shame. When the opportunity arises for Aisha to work with brilliant scientist and leading futurist Jay Edison at his Brain Reinvigoration Project, she begins obsessing over artificial intelligence and its potential to revive her mother’s brain. She begs Sam to participate, unaware that he has begun working with groups that have very different visions for the future of artificial intelligence. The siblings set out to define the role that technology should play in society, asking themselves, “Artificial intelligence may solve the world’s biggest problems, but can it fix our most challenging relationships?”
Edison In The Hood is the wonderful new book by Nadia Uddin that introduces us to Aisha, Sam, their Mother, and this new conundrum that we are closer to than you think! Nadia comes on Darkness Radio today to talk about the book, how close we are to this scenario, and should we have a heightened level of fear and anxiety towards AI?!Â

| 0:28.8 | Welcome in to the best in paranormal programming. This is darkness radio. I'm your host Tim Dennis. |
| 0:34.7 | On this fine Thursday, you know, I told you folks we were kind of celebrating Halloween |
| 0:38.4 | in an all week long and I told you that we were going to kind of observe some of the more |
| 0:44.0 | scarier things. Today we're dealing into some of the scarier things in my mind and one of those |
| 0:48.3 | things is AI. And yes, you know, I am unlike most of the time on the show. I'll tell you, |
| 0:54.8 | it scares the hell out of me. I'll tell you this much. It doesn't treat me as well. |
| 0:58.3 | Sometimes the things that may eventually make you stronger do scare the hell out of you as well. |
| 1:04.8 | If you remember on yesterday's show, I read an article about a project that has been launched |
| 1:12.8 | to combine AI and DNA to revive your loved ones. Little did I know and I had already started |
| 1:20.6 | our guest's book, Edison in the Hood. I'd already started that book and I was reading that book |
| 1:28.5 | but I wasn't paying as close attention as I should have been when I had mentioned a name |
| 1:34.1 | and the name from that article and I know a few of you in the chat room and our chat room |
| 1:39.8 | at Facebook, the darkness radio Facebook page had mentioned how much this story had creeped you |
| 1:44.8 | out and there was a name in there Ray Kurzweil that had kind of freaked you out and this story had |
| 1:52.4 | freaked you out and you were like, oh, no, no, no, no. I don't think I'd ever go for that whole |
| 1:56.8 | thing of combining AI and DNA and trying to keep me alive in a shell like that and some sort of |
| 2:03.2 | AI robot shell. Well, guess what? In our guest's book today, there's talk of that and they acknowledge |
| 2:10.5 | Ray. Yeah, we're going to get a little bit into that today just a tiny bit. So prepare to have |
| 2:18.7 | a little bit of nightmare fuel today but we are going to talk about the subject of keeping you alive |
| 2:26.0 | by AI after you've died. That's going to be involved in today's subject matter. Although, |
| 2:33.6 | I will tell you, this book that I read is extraordinary folks. So I'm going to get into that as well |
