Mensch or Machine? Anders Indset Redefines What It Means to Be Human in the Age of AI

Step into a mind-bending conversation as futurist and philosopher Anders Indset joins the podcast to explore what happens when humans race to create superintelligent machines.

Anders dives deep into the paradoxes at the heart of the technological singularity, asking: Are we on the verge of building our own gods?

What does it truly mean to be human in an era where AI can rival—or surpass—our own creativity, empathy, and consciousness?

From the risks of "zombification" to the idea of "artificial human intelligence," Anders brings unique insights, humor, and fresh thinking to one of the biggest questions of our age.

We tackle everything from collective memory, ethics, and the simulation hypothesis to the fundamental question: Should we do it, just because we can?
