FBL103 - Edward A. Lee: How Humans and Machines Co-Evolve
Notes de l’épisode
This week our guest is distinguished professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, Edward A. Lee, who has written extensively about the relationship between humans and technology in books such as Plato and the Nerd and The Coevolution.
In this episode, Edward lays out his argument against the status quo of "digital creationism," which states that humans are the gods shaping technology, and proposes an alternative narrative where humans and technology are symbiotic entities navigating a very Darwinian relationship. This takes on a tour of the many different facets of this relationship, including the pros and cons, the philosophical implications, the regulatory ramifications, and much more.
