In this episode I interview David Shapiro, whose mission is to "help create Utopia with AI". On his TH-cam channel, David examines Artificial Intelligence using a transdisciplinary approach, synthesizing numerous disciplines including philosophy, history, evolution, coding, sociology, game theory, economics, and automation. He defines "Utopia" as a world where (1) high standard of living for all humans, (2) high social mobility for all humans, and (3) high individual liberty for all humans.
