TED Talks Daily · The kind of AI we actually need | Van Jones · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

I think the better move is to accelerate humanity.

And there's a way to do that, but it requires both sides of the tech divide to come back to ancient intelligence, ancestral intelligence,

Everywhere we go now, we hear people talking about artificial intelligence.

And it's unbelievable.

It's powerful.

And it's also a little scary to me.

I worry about what we're doing.

I worry about where we're going.

I worry that we're in danger of building this brave new world

All this data and no wisdom.

All this data, but no wisdom.

Is there room for wisdom?

Where is the wisdom going to come from in this brave new world?

And so I want to talk about a different kind of AI.

I want to talk about the AI that's absolutely necessary for us to give our children the future they deserve.

I want to talk about ancient intelligence AI.

I want to talk about ancestral intelligence AI.

Do our ancestors have anything to teach us about entering new eras and creating new worlds?

Or should we just push all the old folks to one side?

I'm a ninth-generation American, but I'm the first one in my family that was born with all my rights recognized by this government.
