“Today’s episode argues that the modern push for AI and automation is a continuation of eugenicist ideologies, focusing on efficiency and productivity at the expense of those who cannot keep pace. It criticises the tech industry’s pursuit of “progress” and emphasises the dangers of unchecked technological advancement, particularly for marginalised groups such as autistic individuals and people with disabilities. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks calls for a more inclusive future where technology complements human capabilities and supports social equality rather than displacing and marginalising certain segments of society.”
