Episode Details

What might we see when we look to AI as a collective mirror?
Philosopher, writer, and poet Dr. Bayo Akomolafe joins me today for the second time to explore how AI troubles our ideas of individual authorship, ethics, and human exceptionalism.
When it comes to AI, issues of labor, ecological impact, and data mining are pressing and real — and they call for dedicated episodes that we'll be planning for.
This discussion is not so much about AI itself as it is an invitation to sit with questions that are more ontological — reflecting back on ourselves, and on how we've come to define the human.

As we spiral into the violence of inclusion toward the end, I ask: What does it mean to resonate with something philosophically while acknowledging that there are urgent material conditions that need to be addressed?

Join us not to find resolutions but to be stirred.
