118 - Guest: Robbie Stamp, Historian Philosopher, part 1

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .   Don't Panic! This week's guest, Robbie Stamp, was a friend and associate of the late Douglas Adams and was an executive producer on the 2005 movie of the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But he is also CEO of Bioss International, a global consultancy helping clients focus on decision-making in conditions of complexity, and founder with Adams of the Digital Village. TEDx speaker, historian, and philosopher, Robbie takes us on a wild romp ranging from how much agency we have in a world of AI making decisions about our lives, to the sentience of Marvin the Paranoid Android. Grab your towel. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
