This episode dives into how perceptions of artificial intelligence have evolved—both in real life and through the lens of pop culture. How have science fiction, film, and media shaped the way we imagine and fear AI? We examine its dual nature: as a tool to free us from monotony and bias, but also as a source of concern—unemployment, algorithmic discrimination, and loss of human agency.
From utopian visions of helpful machines to dystopian tales of existential threat, we unpack how AI narratives reflect deeper cultural anxieties and our collective hopes for the future.
This episode is part of an experimental approach where artificial intelligence is not the protagonist, but the channel. We use AI agents as expressive tools to shape content that is carefully selected, intentionally structured, and guided by human judgment. We avoid algorithmic improvisation, aiming instead for conscious human design — a new format to explore ideas with agility, depth, and a distinct voice. Artificial intelligence is merely the medium and the set of tools; the focus, the curation, and the meaning remain, unequivocally, human.
