Ep. 10 - The Future of AI, Humanity & Society
Host: Margie Ramos
What happens when increasingly intelligent AI systems begin shaping the way we think, feel, perceive reality, and envision the future?
In this episode of Original & Unconventional, our host Margie Ramos sits down with Philippe Beaudoin — AI entrepreneur, venture scientist, co-founder of Element AI, and affiliated researcher at LawZero — for a deep conversation about artificial intelligence, humanity, consciousness, culture, values, and the uncertain future ahead of us.
Rather than trying to predict the future with certainty, we explore how to think about it with openness, curiosity, and nuance in a rapidly changing technological era.
We discuss:
- what it was like building Element AI during the early days of the AI boom
- how AI is already reshaping human behaviour, perception, and society
- why values, culture, worldview, and diversity matter when building AI systems
- the psychological and societal implications of large language models
- LLM psychosis and the growing emotional relationship between humans and AI
- consciousness, intelligence, and what makes humans uniquely human
- the future of humanity in an AI-driven world
- how to approach uncertainty without defaulting to fear or techno-utopianism
This conversation was intellectually expansive, grounding, exciting, and at times unsettling in the best way possible.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, technologist, creative, philosopher, or simply someone trying to make sense of the world we’re entering, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective beyond the usual AI headlines and hype cycles.
