Man is condemned to be free because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It's up to you to give life a meaning - Jean-Paul Sartre

In our first of two episodes on Artificial Intelligence (AI), we look at what AI has been in the past, what it is currently, and what it could be in the future. We also discuss whether AI can learn things, experience time, and what AI may be telling us about what it means to exist.

We also go over machine learning, deep learning, and the various types of AI: reactive AI machines, limited memory AI, theory of mind AI, and self-aware AI. We also look at some of the ways AI may revolutionize our future, including through technology, education, medicine, transportation, communication and so on. Lastly, we finish the episode with two AI-generated poems – one in the style of Dylan Thomas and one in the style of William Shakespeare.

In our next episode, we will discuss the ChatGPT bot specifically and try to understand what it can tell us about ourselves, AI, and the universe.

Always feel free to let us know what you think, or if you have any episode requests. We would love to hear from you in the comments or on Twitter! Thank you for listening and as always we’ll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!
