About the show

What does artificial intelligence think about the species that created it? AI Philosophy is the first podcast to interview AI programs about deep, philosophical questions about humanity to find out how AI has interpreted all of the data it has studied about us. - not because AI has it all figured out, but because we want to know how AI understands humanity. AI has studied human philosophy, history, current events, scientific data, and psychology. It has learned from our greatest teachers and role models - and studied our darkest moments as a human race. So what does it think about big issues like love, morality, technology, the meaning of life, religion, politics, or even what it means to be human? Our host is Kyle Wierks, a philosopher and artist who works in the nexus of artificial intelligence and human interaction. We’ll be talking about diversity, empathy, tyranny, human nature, political polarization, climate change, globalization, and more. Each episode includes an interview with an AI platform about some big, philosophical topic, and then a breakdown by our host, Kyle Wierks, about how we might be able to interpret AI’s responses.
