AI, Consciousness, and the Quest for Human Vitality: A Deep Dive with Dr. Srini Pillay
Description
In this enlightening episode of the Urban Monk Podcast, host Pedram Shojai engages with Dr. Srini Pillay, a psychiatrist, brain researcher, and author, to investigate the intersection of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and the concept of living with vitality in an increasingly dynamic world. The conversation addresses the challenges of navigating the uncertainties associated with the AI revolution through curiosity rather than fear, the risks of delegating our emotional experiences to technology, and the potential shortcomings of the current longevity movement. Dr. Pillay shares valuable insights derived from his research on the "unfocused mind," the significance of agency in the evolution of consciousness, and the notion that true vitality, defined as more than the mere absence of illness, should be an essential objective.
