AI risks and societal impacts with Tristan Harris

Dear Alex,

This Friday, we are premiering our special series on Artificial Intelligence beginning with a conversation with tech ethicist Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology.

The current AI trajectory isn't just fully utilizing our collective data to wage wars. It is extracting resources, fundamentally rewiring human relationships, altering mental health, and threatening the very fabric of society. We will inquire into ways to remain human in an era where machines can simulate empathy, displace our labor, and reshape our sense of what's real.

Together, we'll explore how AI may be ushering in a 'post-truth' era that challenges discernment, and whether algorithmic intimacy diminishes our capacity for love.

We'll examine the risks of outsourcing our inner lives to machines, whether bypassing human cognition stunts spiritual evolution, and what Harris calls the Colonization of Consciousness by platforms designed to amplify the Separate Self.

We'll consider the consequences of AI's increasing decision-making in warfare, reckon with the largely unregulated modeling of children's psychology, and sit with perhaps the most humbling question of all: can our collective wisdom keep pace with the complexity we've created, and if not, where does that gap lead us?

We hope you'll join us for this special series offering. Bring your curiosity, your skepticism and maybe a cup of something warm. This one might take a minute to digest.

With love,
The SAND team
