In this episode, we start from artificial intelligence to discuss technology, geopolitics, education, digital manipulation and society's ability to think critically.

What we discussed in this episode

Between provocation, humour and reflection, the episode asks whether the greatest danger of AI is that it thinks for us or that we stop thinking.

  • Artificial intelligence as a tool or social risk
  • Geopolitics and war in Eastern Europe
  • Manipulation, information and social polarisation
  • Reduced attention and the difficulty of listening to complex conversations
  • Cybersecurity and social engineering
  • Education system and critical thinking
  • The risk of no longer questioning
