PODCAST TAKEOVER SERIES: Episode 2

It's a podcast takeover! In this series of episodes, I give my mic over to the next generation of humanists and technologists at Cal Poly who represent the future of ethical technology. Over the next hour, we will hear from the Summer 2020 “Technically Human” class. They have worked together to present to you their thinking about some of the most important and urgent issue in ethical technology. In our second episode of the podcast takeover series, we are delving into the depths of technological futurity. Over the next hour, we’ll imagine possible utopian and dystopian technological futures, and explore how tech creates, and warns about, the possibilities that it engineers. We will take a trip into the intergalactic realm to think about how science fiction depicts the interaction between intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy and human…well, we’ll call it intelligence for now. And we will think about how the next generation of technologists are understanding the futures they will help to build.
