About this listen

The Algorithmic Life has become a defining feature of our daily existence in 2025, weaving itself seamlessly into how we live, work, and interact with the world around us[1][2]. What was once considered experimental technology has rapidly transitioned into practical applications that shape nearly every aspect of our lives.

Just two months ago, on April 9, Durham University announced the launch of the Leverhulme Centre for Algorithmic Life, receiving up to £10 million in funding over ten years to explore how humans engage with algorithmic technologies[5]. Under the leadership of Professor Louise Amoore, the centre will investigate how algorithms influence our behavior, thinking patterns, and even our understanding of what it means to be human[5].

The transition from cloud-based AI to edge computing is accelerating, with AI now operating directly on our personal devices without requiring constant internet connections[3]. Since Anthropic Claude Desktop launched last November, we've seen a proliferation of smaller, faster AI models running locally on smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices[3].

Perhaps most striking is the rise of autonomous AI agents, which are no longer just assistants but are increasingly managing entire projects across industries from supply chain optimization to customer service[3]. According to expert projections, the number of AI agents will surpass humans within the next three years, representing a profound shift in how we interact with technology[3].

For many listeners, this algorithmic revolution feels both exciting and overwhelming. The pace of change continues to accelerate, with business adoption of generative AI jumping from 55% to 75% in just the past year[3]. As these technologies become more integrated into our daily routines, the line between human and algorithmic decision-making grows increasingly blurred.

The question is no longer whether algorithms will shape our future, but how we want to live alongside them. As we navigate this new reality, understanding the impact of these technologies on our lives becomes not just an academic pursuit, but an essential skill for thriving in our algorithmic age.
