Matthew James Bailey: World 3.0
Ethical AI, the Call to Adventure & the Universal Human
In this sweeping, intimate, and at times fiery conversation, Matthew James Bailey invites us far beyond the headlines of artificial intelligence and into the deeper questions humanity is quietly asking: Who are we becoming? What is our role in creation? And how do we build technology without losing our soul?
Matthew weaves together lived mysticism, global leadership, and ethical AI advocacy, sharing his own awakening at 19, his encounters with divine love, and decades of work guiding governments, corporations, and communities through digital revolutions. This episode moves fluidly between metaphysics and policy, the Hero’s Journey and Smart Cities, purpose as liberation (not a prison), and AI as a tool to return time, rest, and human connection back to the people.
This is a conversation for anyone sensing the “call to adventure” within and wondering how purpose, consciousness, and technology might evolve together into what Matthew calls World 3.0.
Classified among the top 1% of minds globally, Matthew advises governments, corporations, and institutions on how to design AI systems that uplift humanity rather than control it. He is the founder of the World 3.0 think tank, alongside leaders such as Sir Robert Edward Grant, John P. Milton and Drs. JJ and Desire Hurtak, exploring decentralization, human-centered technology, and the evolution of the “universal human.”
