Matthew James Bailey: How Artificial Intelligence Can Benefit the Human Species

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real. But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future. So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0. This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about: How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources) Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind) Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/matthew-james-bailey-how-artificial-intelligence-can-benefit-the-human-species/  Head over to AIEthics.world for more from Matthew James Bailey, including his book Inventing World 3.0: Evolutionary Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, more on ethical AI, Research and Development,  Leadership Training, Master Classes and much more.

Anna Vocino: Why Food Labels Lie and How to Say “No” to Robots

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit?

Justin Frandson: Surprising Ways Artificial EMFs Impact Our Health (and What To Do About It)

Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg. Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times? You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation. Do you keep your phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap? We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno. So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies? The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today. We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in their homes for dirty technology and now works to help reduce EMF pollution for optimal health. If you use a phone, have a WiFi router in your house, or any smart devices whatsoever, you’ll want to listen to this show. We’re talking about: Surprising ways artificial EMFs impact our health and what to do about it Tips for minimizing dirty electricity in your home Invisible stressors contributing to low testosterone and infertility The dangers of high tech green energy  Why you should never put your laptop on your lap Easy ways to save cell phone battery and avoid surveillance marketing at the same time And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/justin-frandson-surprising-ways-artificial-emfs-impact-our-health-and-what-to-do-about-it/ For curated health and performance products from Justin Frandson, head over to Athleticism.com.
