How did you end up in this role of looking toward the future and talking about the future as a profession? 3:09 Q2 So talk to us about the your book. What kind of feedback have you gotten from your readers? 4:00 Q3 Now, talk to us about your process of coming up with the title “Soulful”. 4:58 Q4 What kinds of opportunities has your book and these kind of discussions opened up for you? 5:54 Q5 What does the word happiness mean to you? 9:25 Q6 So are these the kinds of emotions that technology can produce? 13:22 Q7 You write about a future world where AI helps improve our future. Now, to me that sounds like happiness. What are your thoughts? 17:00 Q8 You also write a lot about three words in particular, “Inherent Human Traits”, which you suppose will remain beyond the reach of AI. Talk to us about this idea. 19:01 Q9 So let's give some examples of what “inherent human traits” are. Do you have a list you can share with us? 20:57 Q10 For the benefit of those that are listening, what do you mean by faith? 22:05 Q11 Is there a way for humans to use technology in a way that reduces the things that cause unhappiness and, therefore, makes us happier? 24:27 Q12 Do you think that the automation of work and some of the basic needs through AI, could perhaps create more space for creative, purposeful and joyful pursuits? 28:01 Q13 I believe as humans, we should look for ways in which technology can be used to enhance those environments rather than diminish what we want.
