This is Renegade Files Episode 61, Artificial Intelligence: The History, Ethics, and Future of AI.

When I was a kid the promise of the future was beautiful, exciting, and, well, futuristic. We rode the Monorail at Disney and were told that in the future, everyone would travel on those incredibly smooth, electromagnetic hovering trains.

We’d all have flying bubble cars like the Jetsons, sleek robots would clean our homes and cook our meals, and hoverboards were just around the corner. The Tyrell Corporation would sell us genetically engineered humanoid replicant girlfriends, and rebel pilots could explore the star systems of exotic worlds.

But the monorail never left Disney World. When hoverboards came out, they had wheels. Flying cars and our pleasure model replicants resided firmly imprisoned within our TV, Computer, and Phone Screens.

The disappointment that resulted generated a negative creative response and we got an overdose of dystopian sci-fi, zombie movies, cataclysmic disaster predictions, and suddenly, the future was far less bright.

In short, we never got the future we were promised.

But then, a glimmer of futuristic hope. Artificial Intelligence.

We go deep on this one, so put the car on autodrive and get ready to have your organic mind blown, on Renegade Files episode 61 we explore the cutting edges of Ai.
