Technology and Humanity — How to Think About Change in an AI-Driven World (J.J. Jerome)
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
My guest is J.J. Jerome, an engineer, futurist, and award-winning innovator whose work focuses on how technology is shaping human behavior and decision-making. This conversation is not about predicting the future. It's about a deeper question: How do we think clearly about human change in a world increasingly shaped by technology?
In this episode, we explore:
- How technology is influencing behavior, attention, and decision-making
- Why intelligence doesn't always lead to better outcomes
- What social media and data systems are doing to how we think
- How to evaluate claims about the future of humanity
This is an exploration of how to reason about change—not a conclusion about where it all leads. In situations like this, the hardest part is not predicting the future—it's understanding what's actually changing.
