Digital Caffeine, Exoskeletons & AI-Powered Augmentation | Ariel Poler

Ariel Poler is one of the earliest Silicon Valley investors, with 30 years backing frontier tech. After board roles at Twitter and Strava, he became a leading investor in human augmentation, neurotech, and next-gen AI hardware.

In this episode, Ariel breaks down the future of human enhancement: sensory expansion, AI-powered augmentation, exoskeletons, cognitive upgrades, digital caffeine, and the reprogramming of human perception. We explore whether AI will ignite a new wave of augmentation tech and what the upgraded human will look like.
