The Fight to Control AI and Preserve the Elite - Are reactionary forces using AI to lock down their fortunes and avoid transformation? Douglas Rushkoff and Daniel Pinchbeck discuss how the race to dominate AI is driven by a desire to maintain current monopolies and achieve a transhuman future.

"Breaking the AI Barrier" is a new online seminar from the Liminal Institute that examines the deeper mythologies driving the race toward AI dominance — and seeks a more humane, regenerative vision of our digital future.
