Can we create machines that think—and still protect what makes us human?

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Christopher DiCarlo, acclaimed philosopher and author of Building a God: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Race to Control It, lays out the philosophical and practical roadmap for ethical AI development. As artificial intelligence accelerates past human expectations, Dr. DiCarlo explores the ethical dilemmas and regulatory voids we now face—and how we can build systems that align with our highest values, not just our fastest code.

From “chain of thought” in large language models to the hidden implications of information theory, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of AI and the delicate balance between progress and precaution.

Join in now to discover:

  • Why AI governance is no longer optional—but urgent.
  • How philosophy and science intersect to decode human reasoning.
  • What “relation of systems” means for understanding superintelligence.
  • How to pursue AI innovation while managing existential risks.

Whether you're an AI researcher, tech visionary, or just AI-curious—this one’s for you.
