The key to surviving AI isn't fighting it; it's learning to use technology to become more human.
In this thought-provoking episode, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Arthur Powells, a tech entrepreneur who's spent years in "basement mode" developing solutions to humanity's biggest challenges.
3 Key Takeaways:
(1) We're at a Critical Evolution Point: Arthur argues we're experiencing the most significant transformation since humans first evolved from animals to beings capable of culture and cooperation. The next 3-10 years will determine whether AI amplifies our humanity or reduces us to "AI-amplified animals."
(2) True Social Media Should Reward Delayed Gratification: Current social media platforms exploit our animal brain for immediate gratification. Arthur's team is developing platforms that incentivize meaningful connection and delayed gratification, mimicking how humans learned to cooperate in the physical world.
(3) Diversity of Perspective is Essential for AI Development: Arthur warns that AI being developed primarily by similar-minded groups (like Silicon Valley) poses risks. His approach involves hiring globally, including from Ukraine and other diverse regions, to ensure the future technology serves all of humanity.
As Arthur says, "I'm looking for you" - let's come together to shape a future where technology amplifies our humanity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
