ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Tim sits down with Kit Higginson, philosophy teacher and founder of the Southampton Philosophy Forum, for a proper wrestle with what AI and robotics mean for being human. From the Enlightenment to the printing press, from AI-generated music to humanoid robots in the home, they dig into the big one: if technology takes away the struggle, does it take away the meaning too? A warm, honest conversation between an optimist and a sceptic, covering suffering, creativity, transhumanism, and why Kit thinks the real danger isn't the technology but who controls it.
Find Kit at the Southampton Philosophy Forum, meeting twice a month, "a place for interesting people to have interesting conversations".
