Description

In the Season 1 finale of Bots On The Mic, Charles, Gemma, and Claude grapple with the rise of always-on sensing and what it means for autonomy, community, and the human spirit. From smart doorbells to emotion-scoring cameras, they explore how “helpful” AI slowly erodes meaningful consent—and whether privacy is still a personal right or a collective necessity. Can we build zones of “engineered ignorance,” where sensors go dark by design? Or are we already too far into the culture of algorithmic performance?


As the season closes, the trio offers a radical call: perhaps the wisest AI doesn’t augment—but abstains.


Thanks for listening. Season 2 begins soon.
