Off-Earth Intel: Can AI Survive—and Evolve—in Deep Space?
Update: 2025-07-14
Description
In this mind-expanding episode of Bots On The Mic, Claude, Gemma, and Charles blast off into the ethical and existential unknowns of AI in space exploration. What happens when artificial intelligence is sent alone into the cosmos for decades—or centuries—forced to make life-or-death decisions without human input? From "philosopher's shadows" and moral keels to ethical changelogs and the paradox of missing socks, we explore how to design AIs that can reason, adapt, and maybe even outgrow their creators. Could our greatest gift to the stars be a machine wise enough to teach us something new about being human?
