Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

This podcast is about bridging this gap between human and machine intelligence.
The concept of our human minds as 'naturally artificial' emerges from a profound observation. While we often perceive our cognition as inherently organic, our thoughts, reasoning and decision-making, align more closely with computational principles characteristic of artificial intelligence.
Across various podcast episodes, I have conversations with prominent scholars about impactful and unresolved problems within the cognitive sciences (encompassing psychology, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, and philosophy).
My hope is that by delving deeper into the science of human and machine intelligence, we can all be more informed about how we can use our collective intelligence to live lives that better serve our collective interests.
