This week our guest is writer, artist and technologist, James Bridle. Famous for trapping a self-driving car with salt in the mountains of Greece, his artworks have been commissioned by numerous galleries and institutions and have been exhibited worldwide. His writing on literature, culture and networks has appeared in magazines and newspapers including Wired, the Atlantic, the New Statesman, the Guardian, and the Financial Times. He is the author of 'New Dark Age' (2018) and his recently published 'Ways of Being' (2022). In this episode, we explore James’ books, with a particular emphasis on the lessons the natural world is teaching us about intelligence and how we can leverage that information to alter A.I.'s development towards something more humanistic and harmonious with the planet.
