Artificial Intelligence and The Imagination Age
We are living through an intelligence explosion — artificial intelligence is suffusing every aspect of our lives.
From generative AI empowering us with imaginative superpowers to create instant works of art, to Large Language Models like ChatGPT allowing us to engage the resources of a super mind, we have crossed a significant threshold that will change the world forever. So what exactly is going on? How did we get here?
To grasp this, we must first understand the nature of exponential technologies - the same forces behind the digital transformations that have remade the modern world are behind the current AI revolution, creating a very real acceleration of progress, or “weeks when decades happen”…
We need not be afraid. Instead we need a reframing, a proper contextualization that articulates precisely why we are living in the age of imagination: “as we imagine so it becomes”. More than at any time in human history, AI gives us the capacity to fix everything. From protein folding, to organ printing, to cleaning the environment to addressing the digital divide, AI can be a gargantuan problem solving machine. But it will require humans to take the lead to steward this power in the right direction.
Jason Silva will show you this vision and take your breath away.
The Future of Everything: Disruption for Good, Exponential Technologies and Massive Innovation
Technology is upending the world. Acceleration is the new normal... disruption has gone mainstream. There is a sense of vertigo and disorientation. Jobs may become obsolete. Artificial intelligence is superseding human capacities. Biology is becoming a programmable medium. Anxiety is running high. Mental health is in turmoil. These are mind-blowing transformations — and humans don’t like change. How to respond? How do we leverage these exponentially emerging technologies to impact the world in a positive way? Furthermore — what is the mindset, the creativity, and the consciousness required to thrive in the 21st century? Positive psychologists tell us “the cave we fear holds the treasure we seek”. It turns out, moving past our comfort zones is cognitively beneficial. Blowing our minds boosts cognitive flexibility. We become more resilient. More creative. More adaptable. Join Jason Silva on a mind-blowing journey into the future of technology, of imagination, and humanity.
