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.
