The Integral Stage | The Soul of AI (Ep. 6: Brent Cooper) @theintegralstage8140 | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The question of the promise and peril of AI is a proper one for our long-running Love the System series, but we thought it deserved its own spot as a sub-series due to the rapid development and proliferation of Large Language Models and other ground-breaking AI technologies over the past six months. It may be too early to tell yet, but with the clear power of this emergent technology, its potential to take over many of the tasks we used to regard as exclusively human, and its rapid public uptake, it feels like we are on the cusp of an epochal change. How are we to secure the psychological and spiritual health of human beings in the face of such developments? How do we ethically and wisely merge living and non-living intelligences? What wisdom from this corner of the internet -- from our respective integral, metamodern, and spiritual communities -- can help us navigate the monumental challenges and opportunities ahead?
For the sixth episode, Layman meets with metamodernist, Brent Cooper, to explore the question of AI from the perspective of his work on abstraction, and to discuss the political and social dimensions of the coming AI revolution.
