I recently had a talk with
who is a research assistant in marketing and the author of , a newsletter where he explores the impact of AI on everyday life through scientific research.At the moment, Riccardo is preparing to launch a podcast of his own, something I can only encourage.
Whenever I speak to people about podcasting and what my motivation for doing it is, there is a short quote I always fall back on by Yuval Noah Harari:
“Don’t be a lone activist”.
In truth, the impact we can make as individuals is very limited. The easiest thing in the world for me to do would be to sit in my proverbial basement and complain about everything wrong with the world - and there are PLENTY of things to complain about. However, it wouldn’t change anything.
The only way to make a meaningful change in the world is by collective action, so by making connections with others and leveraging a network. Historically and biologically, humans have flourished throughout the ages and outgrown other species because of our ability to communicate and work together. Not because of grand achievements by a few extraordinary individuals. I see podcasting, sharing other people’s viewpoints, stories, thoughts, and ideas with the world, as my way of contributing to the greater, collective brain power.
Riccardo is a fellow European who writes about AI with a strong foundation in science and academia. If you enjoy the work I do here on Futuristic Lawyer, chances are you will enjoy Riccardo’s work as well.
Here is a direct message to you from Riccardo:
“Dear Futuristic Lawyer readers, I am truly honored and excited to have been invited by Tobias and to have the opportunity to "join you". The work that Tobias does on the newsletter is truly great, and I hope that this episode does not disappoint your expectations but, in an informal and spontaneous way, can also provide you with ideas or stimulate reflections. If the impact of AI on our lives interests you, stop by The Intelligent Friend, I will be excited to hear your opinion!
Finally, let me thank Tobias, a person who is not only deeply passionate about what he writes, but also kind and authentic. All that remains is to read, or rather, listen!”
On The Intelligent Friend, you will discover how we relate to AI, how (and if) it can make us more creative, the influence it has on our choices and much more.
