Top Policy Expert Renee Sieber Reveals The Problem With AI In Education
Dr. Renée Sieber joins the podcast to break down how AI policy in Canada often fails to protect people, especially students and young people who do not know better, and why the shift away from actual governance toward quick institutional adoption is threatening civil discourse. We get into the explicit and sinister harms of AI with students and how it corrupts their mental faculties, how these chatbots flatten complex critical thinking, and why real AI accountability requires centering civic engagement rather than treating policy like a PR exercise.Connect with Renée:Website: https://aifortherestofus.ca/McGill Profile: https://www.mcgill.ca/geography/renee-sieberPodcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
Why AI Policy Is So Hard to Get Right – Nidhi Hegde
Nidhi Hegde joins the podcast to break down how AI policy in Canada is being shaped by people who can't fully explain the systems they're writing rules for, and why the gap between what regulation promises and what it actually prevents is bigger than anyone wants to admit. We also get into what it takes to build AI that's private and fair by design, not by press release, and what it means for anyone who thinks compliance is the same thing as accountability.Connect with Nidhi:Website: https://sites.ualberta.ca/~nidhih/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nidhihegde/Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
Canada Built an AI Strategy on Hype - Fenwick McKelvey
Fenwick McKelvey joins the podcast to break down how Canada's AI strategy was built on coverage that never questioned it, and why the gap between what the government promised and what actually arrived is bigger than anyone wants to admit. We also get into what happens when a country outsources its AI policy to the companies it should be regulating, and what it means for anyone who thinks a national strategy is the same thing as a national plan.Connect with Fenwick:Website: https://www.fenwickmckelvey.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fenwick-mckelvey-343228aa/Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
AI, Games & The Hype Bubble - Dr. Matthew Guzdial
Dr. Matthew Guzdial joins the podcast to break down how (and if!) AI is reshaping video game design, and why the gap between what's being promised and what's actually shipping is bigger than anyone wants to admit.

Karl Friston on AI for Gen Z
Dr. Karl Friston is Professor of Neuroscience at UCL and one of the most cited scientists alive. His work on the free energy principle has transformed our understanding of the brain, consciousness, and intelligence.Probably the coolest thing that's happened to me, the world's most influential neuroscientist talked about my book, AI for Gen Z, and interviewed me on it. We ended up in this wild conversation spanning the free energy principle, how Gen Z's relationship with technology is fundamentally different from previous generations, the nature of time and prediction, and why understanding AI might require completely rethinking how we understand minds in the first place.Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
Zoltan Istvan: The AI Revolution, The Death of Work & Why We Should Emerge with Machines
I’m joined by Zoltan Istvan, the world’s most influential transhumanist and candidate for Governor of California. Zoltan reveals the radical, high-stakes shifts occurring in the minds of the world's most powerful disruptors as they prepare for a world where biology is no longer the limit.We dive into Zoltan’s vision for a post-scarcity world where Universal Basic Income becomes the foundation of society as AI and robots take over the burden of labor. He discusses the shifting human experience—what we actually do with our lives once work is optional—and outlines his platform for Governor of California, focusing on how both the younger generation and the elderly can navigate this radical transition. Finally, we explore his core perspective on transhumanism, specifically his belief that death is a solvable technical problem and his predictions for how the future of our species will unfold.

AI CEO: "In 2026, The Traditional Workforce Will No Longer Exist. Here Is The New Reality."
How is the boardroom actually preparing for the year 2026?I’m joined by Shashank Tiwari, the CEO of Uno.AI and a seasoned Silicon Valley executive. We discuss the massive transition from the "AI experimentation" phase of 2024 to the "operational reality" of 2026, and he reveals the high-stakes conversations happening behind closed doors in the world’s most influential C-suites.In this episode:We start by looking at the 2026 playbook for large-scale enterprises. We start by deconstructing the 2026 roadmap for large-scale enterprises. Shashank pulls back the curtain on how boards are moving away from AI hype and toward "operational reality"—where AI agents handle core business logic without human "babysitting." We dive into the specific anxieties of the C-suite, and why the most studied aspect in the boardroom of 2026 is not simply AI integration, but human comprehension. We explore the neurological and sociological impacts of living in an AI-native world and how leaders can navigate the blur between human intuition and machine precision.

"The Internet Is Rewiring Your Brain: The Scary Truth No One Is Telling You": Giles Crouch
How has the internet actually changed humanity? In this episode, I’m joined by digital anthropologist Giles Crouch to go deep into the "Human-Tech Intersect." Giles has spent over 20 years decoding the invisible cultural forces that dictate how we buy, believe, and belong.We discuss the massive shift of humanity living in two worlds at once (the physical and the digital) and how the internet has evolved from a simple tool into an environment that rewires our rituals and social structures.In this episode: We start by looking at how the internet moved from being an "information superhighway" to a digital ecosystem that now dictates much of our behavior. Giles explains why digital platforms often strip away the context of our cultural rituals and what that loss means for real human connection. We also dive into the limits of modern technology, specifically why AI can reflect our past data but remains incapable of understanding the deeper "why" behind human behaviour.As we move toward a future where technology and biology are increasingly blurred, Giles shares why "cultural intelligence" is the only way to navigate the shift from physical communities to digital echo chambers. If you’ve ever felt like our tools are changing our intuition and memory, this episode will help you understand the neurological and sociological patterns at play.-Connect with Giles: Website: https://www.gilescrouch.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gileswcrouch/Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
Clairvoyant: Technology Is Destroying Spirituality
Alexandra Goldwell, MA, RCC, is a therapist, clairvoyant healer, and consciousness educator with over 35 years of experience bridging Western psychology with ancient wisdom traditions. In a world where technology is rewiring human consciousness at unprecedented speed, where children and young people are experiencing neurological ruptures from constant digital stimulation, and where humanity's relationship with screens has created a crisis of disconnection from embodied presence and subtle energy awareness, how do we reclaim our innate capacities for perception, intuition, and energetic coherence?In this episode, we cover:What clairvoyance actually isHow technology is altering neural development in youth, creating patterns of dysregulation and fragmented attentionWhy humanity's accelerating dependence on external technology may be atrophying our internal technologies—intuition, energetic sensitivity, and direct knowingHow parents and individuals can recognize and address the neurological and energetic impacts of technology on themselves and their childrenWhy rebalancing our relationship with technology and reconnecting with our subtle perceptual capacities might be essential for individual healing-Connect with Alexandra: Website: https://www.alexandragoldwell.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askalexandra/Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135

Dr. Maya Ackerman is a world-renowned AI researcher, generative AI pioneer, and CEO and Co-Founder of WaveAI. She is an Associate Professor at Santa Clara University and the author of "Creative Machines: AI, Art & Us." In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming every creative domain, from music and visual art to writing and design, and where fear about AI replacing human artists has reached fever pitch, how do we understand what machines can actually create versus what only humans can imagine, and what does this technological shift reveal about the nature of creativity itself?In this episode, we cover:What creativity and hallucinations really areWhat the actual capabilities and limitations of creative AI systems reveal about both machine and human intelligenceHow generative AI exposes the hidden assumptions, biases, and blind spots embedded in human societyWhy AI-generated art, music, and writing are fundamentally mirrors that reflect human ingenuity, cultural values, and collective unconscious back at us rather than representing truly independent machine consciousnessHow creative professionals can use AI as a tool to enhance rather than replace their work, and what frameworks exist for maintaining human agency and artistic vision while leveraging computational capabilitiesWhat the rise of generative AI means for the future of creative industries, the economics of art-making, and whether machines expanding creative accessibility democratizes creativity or devalues itWhy fixing AI ethics alone is insufficient-Connect with Maya: Website: https://maya-ackerman.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Machines-Future-Human-Creativity/dp/1394316267LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackerma/Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135

Psychologist: How AI Is Affecting The Human Mind and Brain - Dr. Ashley Rankin
Dr. Ashleigh Rankin holds a doctorate in psychology. Recently, she’s been diving into how new technologies, AI included, are shaping the ways Gen Z and the rest of us understand ourselves, relate to others, and navigate an increasingly digital world. Her perspective brings together human behavior, financial wellbeing, and the everyday impact of technology.In this episode, we cover:Why vulnerable minds—including children, adolescents, and those with existing mental health conditions—are particularly susceptible to AI's psychological impacts and what makes them different from the general population in their responses to AI systemsHow AI is rewiring our neurological reward systems through constant dopamine hits, infinite scroll mechanisms, and algorithmic content delivery that exploits the brain's evolutionary vulnerabilitiesWhat the relationship is between neurological states (how our brains physically respond to stimuli) and psychological states (our emotional and mental wellbeing), and why understanding this connection is critical for navigating AI healthilyHow people can establish boundaries with AI systems to prevent psychological dependency, addiction patterns, and the erosion of critical thinking skills that occurs with over-reliance on algorithmic decision-makingWhy the way we interact with AI now is creating long-term neurological patterns that may fundamentally alter human cognition, attention spans, and our capacity for deep work and sustained focusWhat practical frameworks individuals can implement to use AI as a tool rather than allowing it to become a psychological crutch or replacement for human judgment and connectionHow parents, educators, and mental health professionals can identify early warning signs of unhealthy AI relationships and intervene before psychological harm becomes entrenchedConnect with Ashley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ponderosa_kw/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Tillys-Toolbox-Emotions-Ashleigh-Rankin/dp/B0F2B2RW18Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135
Being Human In The Age of AI - Jeff Burningham
Jeff Burningham is a tech entrepreneur, investor, and author of the book "The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI." In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing to outperform humans at nearly every measurable task, threatening to render human creativity, labor, and even consciousness itself obsolete, how do we reclaim what truly makes us human before we hand the reins entirely to machines?In this episode, we cover:- Why AI represents both humanity's greatest opportunity for evolution and our most urgent existential threat—and how our response will determine which path we take- How humans have become "human doings" obsessed with output and achievement, losing sight of the essential art of simply being present and alive- What it actually means to be human in an age where machines can think, create, and produce faster and better than we ever will—and why our mortality, vulnerability, and capacity to fail are our greatest advantages - Why AI is not our adversary but a mirror that reflects and amplifies who we already are, forcing us to confront our unconscious patterns, false beliefs, and outdated systems- How we must evolve beyond the old paradigms of capitalism, religion, and politics that prioritize power and resources over collective human flourishing and genuine connection- What wisdom, love, and deep human presence look like as the antidotes to an age dominated by machines—and why leading with these qualities is how we consciously participate in upgrading human existence- Why this moment in history is a wake-up call for our species to embrace our full potential, reclaim our capacity for authentic relationship, and write humanity's next, wiser chapter before it's too lateConnect with Jeff: Website: https://www.jeffburningham.comAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Last-Book-Written-Human-Becoming/dp/1637634560Podcast Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135

In this episode, we discuss: - Why the crisis of modern masculinity is creating widespread confusion and anxiety among men of all ages. - How masculinity and femininity are not opposing forces but complementary energies that exist within all people regardless of gender. - Why the old paradigms of dominance, stoicism, and emotional suppression are no longer serving men or the communities around them. - What young males need to understand about building healthy relationships, emotional intelligence, and purposeful lives in an era of rapid social change. -How men can reclaim positive aspects of masculine energy—strength, presence, protectiveness—while releasing toxic patterns of aggression, isolation, and fear. - What practical wisdom anyone can apply to foster a new vision of masculinity rooted in authenticity, vulnerability, accountability, and interconnection rather than competition.Connect with Joe: YouTube: @SaltyGingerTalk -Info: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ILhje5HSua1FEOlTyFAhGApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WConnect: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ Instagram: instagram.com/ayushprakashofficialBooks: AI for Gen Z: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0981182135

Making AI Transparent & Safe - Rob Eleveld | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast #93
Rob Eleveld is the Chairman of Transparency Coalition. Due to concerns around the speed and scale of Generative AI rollout by BigTech, he has co-founded Transparency Coalition.ai, a 501c4 non-profit that advocates for transparency around the usage of “training data,” the products of human imagination, identity, and innovation (produced by creators and everyday users). Training data is the very foundation for which Generative AI systems are built, and much of it is personal data, copyrighted material, and unverified content. Currently completely unregulated, Generative AI is being built on digital data at massive scale without permissions, licenses, or quality assurance. All one needs to look at is a the social media disaster for our kids and teens to know that something needs to be done. As former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler says in a recent book "Techlash: Who Makes The Rules In The Digital Gilded Age": "AI technology is being released with fewer safety standards and less oversight than that required for a toaster…. The lesson of the digital era thus far is a message about what happens when policy makers fail to get in front of the new technology’s effects. That story cannot be allowed to repeat in a world driven by artificial intelligence.” https://www.transparencycoalition.ai/ #ai #regulation #legal -PODCAST INFO: Spotify: https://sptfy.com/O2uWApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3qXL37WSOCIAL: Website: https://ayushprakash.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prakash-ayush/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/

I also have stopped highlighting a word in the thumbnail with a different colour, as I felt I was copying Chris Williamson's format too much. He is a competitor (since he is one of the best in the space) but adopting my own style feels a little more mature and sensible, especially early on. I am going to try my best to retain a consistent schedule of once per week, and aim to even backlog some episodes in case guests/I need to reschedule. Cheers to the future, can't wait for episode 173!

Is automation actually humane? | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 54
Is automation really humane, or is this a misinterpretation? Automation is always thought of as a humane endeavour. Ridding humans of dull, boring, dangerous, and meaningless jobs has always been the goal. But is automation actually humane? From my diagnosis, no, its not. The mere administration of automation is inhumane, and many factors support this argument. This episode will teach you why automation is seemingly necessary, how the psychology of unemployed people changes in stages, what I refer to as the Job Saturation Problem, why UBI is not the answer, and lots more in the 54th edition of the Gen Z Diplomat podcast. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
We Were Completely Wrong About Automation... | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 53
The way we’ve all been talking about automation is totally incorrect. But why? Automation has been the supposed seismic shift in the economy. We were told by economists and futurists alike that AI, robots, and other technologies would replace low-skill, low-wage workers, forcing them on a path of meaninglessness and universal basic income survival. However, this notion is very narrow. This episode will teach you why automation is not this massive workforce shift, a brief overview of why innovation has been slowing down, why I started on the path of teaching Gen Z about automation, and lots more in the 53rd edition of the Gen Z Diplomat podcast. #automation #artificialintelligence #innovation - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
The Decline of Innovation: Where We Went Wrong
If you feel that things are stagnant, here's a breakdown of why that is the case. Innovation has always been thought of as assuredly exponential. But in recent decades, things have changed. Markets have started to respond to incremental improvements rather than risky ideas, and thus, companies and startups are gravitating towards the same thing, again and again. With that, we are reaching a plateau in scientific breakthroughs, furthering our detriment of radical progress and civilizational advancement. This episode will teach you what innovation is, some examples of how and where it has declined, how agricultural technology plays a massive role in determining if innovation is declining, the concerns with a decline in progress, the importance of markets, and lots more in the 52nd episode of the Gen Z Diplomat podcast. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/

Uncovering the Truth About ChatGPT
ChatGPT has changed everything. This is the first time in recent decades that an artificial-intelligence-based technology caused such a ruckus in mainstream media. But that's just what ChatGPT is: a disruption. Students and professionals alike have taken advantage of ChatGPT's tremendous power. No one has seen this kind of power available to the public for free. However, there are certain misconceptions about ChatGPT, how it operates and if its generally intelligent, which pollute the conversations surrounding it. This episode will teach you what ChatGPT is not, why it is polluting our information space, how it is a disruption to students' education, how it exposes education and the stagnation of the entire system, why ChatGPT is not generally intelligent, and more in the 50th episode of the Gen Z Diplomat podcast. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/

This Is What Education Needs to Succeed | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 48
In the 21st century, "modern" schooling systems are outdated, stagnant, and don't take advantage of the latest science and technology. As such, we are setting contemporary students up for failure, as our future requires people with dynamic skillsets that are unfound in current classrooms. Education 2.0 is the most important societal overhaul we will ever undertake. Simply put, without this reconfiguration, we will descend, slowly then quickly, into ruin because our new generations are being taught with subpar methods. Students' health through sleep is uncared for, we still use a silly grading system to pass or fail, there is no creativity present, and worst, the most powerful algorithms are not being used to personalize curriculums to get the most out of students.

Reclaiming Focus and Attention | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 46
This episode is dedicated to my thoughts about focus and attention. It’s clear that the attention spans of the general public have diminished over the years. In this episode we talk about how and why you need focus in daily life, why it has degraded, some tools, techniques, books, and podcasts related to focus and attention, and why the world seems a little more superficial with lowered attention spans. It is an explicit fact that our phones are daily drivers of our degrading focus and attention. Well, the answer to that is quite simple: the constant influx of noise, the notifications, the calls, the texts, the pings, the endless stream of information and stimuli, makes it very difficult to not pay attention. However, and this is the most sinister part: every time you shift your attention away from what you were doing, you degrade it. I think attention span and focus is the number one thing we should all strive to enhance and maintain. The simple fact of the matter is that our lives are dominated by hyper-stimuli that distract us and make it difficult, and even boring, to stay with a singular mind on a task. I urge you to use the tools and techniques described in this podcast, and even share them with a friend and start practicing together. - Stolen Focus: https://www.amazon.ca/Stolen-Focus-Attention-Think-Deeply/dp/0593138511/ Deep Work: https://www.amazon.ca/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692/ Dopamine Nation: https://www.amazon.ca/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence/dp/152474672X/ The Molecule of More: https://www.amazon.ca/Molecule-More-Chemical-Creativity_and-Determine/dp/1948836580/ Huberman Lab Podcast - Dopamine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmOF0crdyRU Huberman Lab Podcast - Focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb5zpo5WDG4 - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
AI Rights: Serious Debate or Satire? | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 45
This episode is dedicated to my thoughts about machine rights. Looking at the progression of artificial intelligence, it’s clear that a point may come — indeed, it may already have passed — where wider society must grant an AI basic “human” rights. Machine rights are not granting rights to run-of-the-mill digital or physical. This is redundant and useless, a waste of time and money. If the machine is not affected by the way humans act or react towards it, then giving it a right does nothing. Machines that we ascribe sentience or consciousness to, even if they are imitating it, must be ascribed a moral status. Nick Bostrom brings up the Principle of Substrate Non-Discrimination, stating if two beings have the same functionality and the same conscious experience, and differ only in the substrate of their implementation, then they have the same moral status. In other words, if two entities are equally conscious, but one is carbon-based and one is silicon-based, the status of the two entities is identical, and should be treated and documented as such. - The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky: https://nickbostrom.com/ethics/artificial-intelligence.pdf - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
AI & ML: What’s the Difference? | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 44
This episode is dedicated to understanding the difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning. In the real world, most of what we talk about as AI is really ML. Social media algorithms, Boston Dynamics’ robots, and Google Assistant, to name a few, are simply machine learning tools designed to improve your experience and themselves. However, notifying this difference is important for the progression and inevitable emergence of human-like intelligence cased in silicon. We are not working towards statistics, we are working towards an unprecedented leap in our pursuit of increasingly exponential technologies. God-like powers have been bestowed unto us, and we must wield them with the wisdom of Gods as well — at least, our closest approximation. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
A Brief History of Education | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 43
This episode is dedicated to understanding the history of education and how it evolved into the current stagnated, cookie-cutter institution. Schooling was, at first, a place to create better workers. Vital teachings in school were: punctuality, following orders, long hours of tedious work, and subpar reading and writing skills. Moving forward, schooling transitioned into creating better soldiers and citizens. Teaching history, the us versus them approach, combined with the monotonous “skills” of workers created breeding grounds of centralized ideas and nationalistic attitudes. In other words, school was a factory. Education wasn’t, and isn’t, a place of learning, it is a place of worship. To go against any of its teachings is blasphemous; to think you know better is sacrilegious; to attempt to spark different ideas is heresy. Education is in dire need of a top-down refresh. Everything needs to be changed in order to succeed. Applying more paint on an otherwise crumbly, scratched wall does nothing. In order for the wall to evolve, the entire thing needs to be torn down and replaced with a newer, better version. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
The Truth About School | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 42
This episode is dedicated to my thoughts about the current state of modern education. As it stands, education institutions must be rebuilt from the ground up in order to best serve future generations. We cannot continue the absurdity of factory education for further decades, it is destroying the potential of our youth. School should be an expansive and diverse playground of ideas and personalities. Students should be free to learn in the style that suits them, not the style that suits the school. The term factory education is appropriate, because everyone that comes out of school nowadays is indoctrinated with cookie-cutter information. School, in its current form, is lacking in many areas. However, the concept and the goals it seeks are powerful and necessary to keep our society and overall civilization afloat and progressing strongly. I just think that we have reached a plateau, a lack of innovation for education. We need more leaders, professors, teachers, and students to work together to construct the next generation of education. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/
We Need To Talk About Killer Robots | Gen Z Diplomat Podcast 41
This episode is dedicated to talking about the existential state of killer robots in our world, and how our ethics are being dissolved for the sake of warfare, money, and power. Killer robots have always been feared by scientists and researchers who understand (and give their inputs on) the bleeding-edge of technology. This is why since 2015 there have been firm stances by AI and robotics folks against the proliferation of autonomous weapons. Stances which were in vain. Each year, the development of weapons which do not require humans to act and/or react is accelerated and pumped with money and zero hesitancy. Simply because, according to game theory, we must do this before anyone else can, otherwise we automatically lose. These repercussions, however, make themselves known off of the battlefield that killer robots are designed for. Police departments could be equipped in the very near future with autonomous weapons of mass destruction. What happens next is anyone's guess. - SOCIAL: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genzdiplomat/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genzdiplomat/ MY BOOK: AI for Gen Z: https://amazon.ca/dp/098118216X/

Too many geopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociotechnological issues, which seem overwhelming to begin with.
