FuturologyThe Cyborg Watershed of the American West (with Lauren Bon and Grant Slater)The ever-branching network of lakes, rivers, and streams that flow west from the Rockies enable human life to flourish in one of the hottest places on Earth. This is a “cyborg watershed” – part natural, part machine, and wholly entangled with the myths and machinery of the region.
In this episode, LA-based artist Lauren Bon joins Futurology producer Grant Slater to trace the path of her large-scale artworks that intervene in that system, blurring the lines between art, engineering, and activism. The conversation moves through buried waterways, the choreography of permits and politics, and the search...2025-08-121h 20
FuturologyThe Death Knell of the Nation-State (with Rana Dasgupta and Jonathan Blake)The modern nation-state wasn’t just a conglomeration of laws and armies. It was a belief in borders, in belonging, in the promise that citizenship could ground identity in a chaotic world. That belief is faltering.
In this episode, writer and thinker Rana Dasgupta joins Jonathan Blake to explore the spiritual and political collapse of state power.They unearth sovereignty's theological roots, assess its crumbling currency regimes, and reckon with the return of nomadism in a world of climate migration and digital drift.2025-08-051h 23FuturologyHow We Discovered Our Own Extinction (with Thomas Moynihan and Benjamin Bratton)For most of human history, the end of the world was a divine promise, inevitable and liberating for the holy alone. But the invention of extinction changed that. This was no prophecy. It was discovery – a realization that the universe could go on without us – and probably would.
In this episode, philosopher Thomas Moynihan joins Benjamin Bratton to trace the history of a shift in thinking: that the future isn’t guaranteed. They ask how our expanding knowledge of time reshaped not just our fears, but our obligations — not only to each other, but to futur...2025-07-2957 min
bauhaus facesPaul Klee / Fabienne Eggelhöfer
In this episode you will hear the first result of my tour to Switzerland back in May. One of my stops was at Zentrum Paul Klee in Berne to interview Fabienne Eggelhöfer, chief curator of the ZPK.
Paul Klee created so much art during his lifetime – in his last year of life alone 1.253 works. Exhibitions of his work are still a huge audience magnet. He is today one of the best-known artists of the Bauhaus. But his career had started much earlier than with his appointment as Bauhaus master; he had lived a full life before.

Increasingly, it appears this emergent cyberocracy no longer wants to disrupt the world, but to govern it.
In this episode, veteran journalist John Markoff teases out novel strands of thought that are increasingly embedded in the DNA of Washington, DC. From Palo Alto to the Pentagon, from Burning Man to the Beltway, we must reckon with a new networked system of systems where power flows th...2025-07-221h 35
FuturologyDid the Sun Ever Set on the Age of Empire? (with Niall Ferguson and Nathan Gardels)On America’s 250th birthday, historian Niall Ferguson suggests that the US has reached an age when most republics fizzle out. Donald Trump’s rise is merely a symptom of this late-stage unspooling of an empire that America could never quite escape.
In this episode, Ferguson tells the story of a republic that burns hot, forgets fast, and could smolder on the ash heap of history sooner than we expect in the face of a second Cold War that has already begun with a more formidable and AI-empowered foe.2025-07-1556 min
FuturologyWhat if Buddhists Ran the World? (with Stephen Batchelor and Bing Song)Stephen Batchelor has spent decades stripping Buddhism of its dogma to find what wisdom it can offer the modern world. Could cities and countries run on karma instead of capital?
In this episode, he sketches a vision of society grounded in awareness, compassion, and radical interdependence — a politics of presence rather than power. Stripped of its cosmologies, he argues, a secular Buddhism could light the way toward an ethical response to a world on fire.2025-07-081h 17
FuturologyLetting Robots Know Where They Stand (with Fei-Fei Li and Dawn Nakagawa)Before robots can act, they need to know where they are. That’s the deceptively simple premise behind the latest effort from machine vision pioneer Fei-Fei Li. She's building a Large World Model that will enable artificial intelligences to situate themselves in our reality and create entirely new worlds of their own, for human minds to inhabit.
In this episode, we trace the evolution of artificial perception — from the early days of visual machine learning with stoplights and puppies to today's efforts to put robots in their place.2025-07-0158 min
FuturologyInhabiting Artificial Minds... On Mars and Beyond (with Vandi Verma and Claire Webb)If we ever land on another planet, we won’t be the first to arrive. It will be our machines — the ones we’ve trained, calibrated, and loaded onto rockets – who will roam alien landscapes.
In this episode, NASA roboticist Vandi Verma takes us inside the mind of a Mars rover — and into the process of building, steering, and co-evolving with machines that learn as they go. As we aim for unwelcoming planets and stranger moons, our robots must grow bolder to survive. With artificial intelligence on board, will they evolve to lead the search for...2025-06-241h 10
FuturologyAfter the End of History, an Age of Disorder (with Francis Fukuyama and Nathan Gardels)More than three decades ago, Francis Fukuyama saw the future: a world order that looked inevitable, stable, liberal. What emerged instead is something bumpier, louder, and far more dangerous.
In this episode, Fukuyama takes us on a ride through the strange resurrection of 19th-century power politics, the rise of political strongmen, and the collapse of trust that can dooms institutions to failure. We discuss what’s left to salvage – and what a bureaucracy of the future could accomplish.2025-06-2455 minFuturologyWelcome to Futurology | Podcast TrailerFuturology is a new a weekly podcast from the Berggruen Institute where we work to name what’s next.

Artificiality: Being with AIBenjamin Bratton: The Platypus and the PlanetaryIn this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the implications of planetary-scale computation with Benjamin Bratton, Director of the Antikythera program at the Berggruen Institute and Professor at UC San Diego. Benjamin describes his interdisciplinary work as appearing like a "platypus" to others—an odd creature combining seemingly incompatible parts that somehow works as a coherent whole.At the heart of our discussion is Benjamin's framework for understanding how computational technology literally evolves, not metaphorically but through the same mechanisms that drive biological evolution: scaffolding, symbiogenesis, niche construction, and what he calls "allopoiesis"—the process by which organisms transform their...2025-06-071h 04

Interviews by Brainard CareyStephanie H. ShihStephanie H. Shih in the studio, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Photo: Robert Bredvad
Stephanie H. Shih (b. 1986, Philadelphia, PA) renders outdated consumer goods as trompe l’oeil sculptures that reveal the tensions within American domestic life. Turning everyday items—a Thighmaster, a self-help book, many pantries’ worth of condiments—into intricately painted ceramic objects transforms each into a permanent artifact. Seen together, the works play with notions of timelessness and obsolescence, nostalgia and disillusionment.
Shih has exhibited work at James Cohan, New York, NY; Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, CA; Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY; Cantor Arts Center, Stanford...2025-02-2620 min

Global Governance Futures: Imperfect Utopias or Bust48: Jonathan Blake and Nils Gilman – Planetary Thinking for an Age of CrisesJonathan Blake and Nils Gilman join us to discuss their recent book, Children of a Modest Star: Planetary Thinking for an Age of Crises, in which they propose a framework of "planetary thinking" to address the interconnected crises facing humanity. Drawing on historical lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the eradication of smallpox, among other examples, Blake and Gilman advocate for moving beyond traditional state-centered responses. They urge a reorientation toward systemic, planetary-scale challenges that acknowledge humanity’s deep entanglement with ecological and biogeochemical systems.

AI decision-making is beginning to change the world, and explainability is about the ability of an AI model to explain the reasons behind its decisions. The challenge for AI is that unlike previous technologies, how and why the models work isn’t always obvious — and that has big implications for trust, engagement and adoption.
