Is There a Slippery Slope of AI Idiocracy at Our Bureaucracies? What We Could Learn From Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley and Erlich Bachman?  We are going to use black humor, irony from Mike Judge’s series Silicon Valley to illustrate how we are yielding our agency so easily. No worries if you haven’t seen it, I’ll introduce you quickly. And to illustrate the hype of the rockstar status of AI, you are going to be a member of my project team that takes on this assignment but with a few twists. It’s going to be a fun thought experiment, and you’re going to learn how to put the AI hype into perspective. And hopefully understand some of the dangers of overinvesting trust in pure technical solutions.

We will also discuss what Jaron Lanier, pioneer of Virtual Reality, has to say about our rush to blindly embrace AI as a superior intelligence.
