The Ghost in the AI Machine | Gene Callahan
In this episode, we sit down with Eugene Callahan, economist, philosopher, and author, to explore the deep and often overlooked connections between computer science and the humanities. Drawing from his recent article "The Ghost in the AI Machine" in Modern Age Journal, Eugene delves into the profound implications of AI and technology on human life. We discuss the nature of intelligence from a human perspective and examine the philosophical risks posed by the rapid advance of AI. Eugene shares his insights on the proper limits of technology, questioning whether our pursuit of technical progress might be leading us astray from the core human values that the liberal arts strive to preserve. Join us as we navigate the complex terrain where technology meets philosophy, and consider what it truly means to be intelligent in an increasingly automated world.
