AI Needs a New Story—EP31

What if everything we've been told about artificial intelligence is missing the point? In this thought-provoking episode of AI Ascent, host Dr. Jonathan Luckett steps away from the technical minutiae to tackle a more fundamental challenge: the narrative crisis at the heart of AI. Inspired by Arianna Huffington's groundbreaking article "AI Needs a New Story," we're questioning whether the dominant discourse—oscillating between sterile efficiency and apocalyptic doom—is blinding us to AI's most transformative potential. Huffington envisions something radically different: AI as the catalyst for a human renaissance, a technology that doesn't just optimize our productivity but bridges the "health delta" between knowing what's good for us and actually doing it. Can artificial intelligence make us not merely smarter, but wiser, healthier, and ultimately more human? Join us as we explore a compelling alternative vision for our AI-augmented future—one that replaces fear and cold utility with hope, wisdom, and human flourishing.
