In today’s episode, we explore the challenges and ethical considerations of artificial intelligence development with Dr. Christopher DiCarlo, a revolutionary philosopher, professor, and AI ethicist. Is proactive governance necessary in this topic area? Is artificial intelligence capable of surpassing human intelligence? Tune in to decide for yourself!

Dr. DiCarlo is the author of Building a God: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Race to Control It, a book that addresses the future of AI and whether ethical governance can be achieved by identifying the key components, obstacles, and points of progress gained so far by the global community. He can often be found teaching in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Toronto and the Life Institute at Ryerson University in Toronto.
