All Things Have Standing, Part 1: Our Stories

All Things Have Standing is a course in human psychology and the ethics of artificial intelligence and environmental law inspired by a powerful idea from the audio drama Spark Hunter—that all things have ethical standing. All Things Have Standing is presented by Carnegie Council in collaboration with Fighter Steel Education. Inspired by a futuristic story of a highly advanced AI experiencing existential crisis, All Things Have Standing explores, with leading scholars, AI and environmental ethics, the psychology and philosophy which underlie them, and the extraordinary challenges they raise for the global community.

This first part, all available on this podcast in six sections, is entitled “Our Stories.” Professor Sheldon Solomon presents a study of our journey as humans, touching on psychology, self-awareness, the animal world, storytelling, and much more.
