Join All Tech Is Human's founder, David Ryan Polgar, for a fireside chat with Center for Humane Technology's Camille Carlton about what it means to be human in the age of AI.
We're told AI will give us everything we want, instantly & effortlessly - the perfect playlist, the ideal trip, the answer to any question.But a decade of algorithmic recommendation systems already showed us what happens when a handful of platforms decide what culture we see: our tastes narrow, our choices converge, & the same songs, restaurants, & aesthetics rise to the top everywhere.
What's less visible is why. To build a system that can predict & automate what we want, AI companies need something from us first: the intangible, hard-to-quantify parts of being human - our words, our habits, our relationships, our inner lives - turned into data, & data into product. This is the monetization of the human experience, & it's the engine behind the frictionless world being sold to us.
The more of ourselves we hand over, the more "effortless" the system gets & the less room is left for the friction that actually makes us who we are.
