About this listen
In the season finale of "Humainity," the episode delves into the concept of "affordance" in both physical objects and cognitive constructs, like the difference between Roman and Indo-Arabic numerals. The discussion transitions to how AI augments human cognition, offering "cognitive affordances" that expand our mental capabilities. AI tools, like calculators, serve as collaborators, enhancing individual work. The episode touches on the potential for AI to change religious experiences, possibly creating AI-generated "sacred artifacts." It also explores AI's potential in communicating with other species, like the CETI project with whales. The role of AI in evolving language and writing is discussed, suggesting AI might alter the perception of cognitive feats.
The second season will launch in early 2024.
