About this listen

 Episode 28: Brian Patrick Green is the Director of Technology Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Brian's work on ethics is extensive, covering transhumanism, artificial intelligence, space exploration, corporate ethics, and religion. He has published several articles and resources on ethics and also authored several books including Space Ethics (2021) and Religious Transhumanism and Its Critics (2022). In this episode, we ask Brian to share his journey into the world of ethics and the issues that face us today with the regulation of rapidly developing technologies like artificial intelligence. We also delve into the ethics of life extension therapies, questions of identity/what it means to be human, and Roman Catholic perspectives on additional life. We may have gone twice as long as the average episode but only for good reason!
