Am I?What’s Left for Us After AI? | Am I? After Dark | EP 16In this edition of Am I? After Dark, Cam and Milo ask one of the most quietly destabilizing questions of the AI era: what remains of human meaning when AI begins to outperform everything we thought made us valuable?Fresh off a documentary shoot with philosopher David Gunkel, Milo arrives electrified — not by AI itself, but by the rediscovery that philosophy was always meant to live in the public square, not behind academic gates. That realization unlocks a sprawling conversation about creativity, purpose, work, identity, and what it means to be human at the moment our tools be...

Ethical MachinesIs AI a Person or a Thing… or Neither?It would be crazy to attribute legal personhood to AI, right? But then again, corporations are regarded as legal persons and there seems to be good reason for doing so. In fact, some rivers are classified as legal persons. My guest, David Gunkel, author of many books including “Person Thing Robot” argues that the classic legal distinction between ‘person’ and ‘thing’ doesn’t apply well to AI. How should we regard AI in a way that allows us to create it in a legally responsible way? All that and more in today’s episodeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircl

Carefully Examining the TextPsalm 144Psalm 144A Psalm of David“Herman Gunkel once proposed that this poem was an ‘imitation’ of Psalm 18, but, especially because some of the topics it touches on are unlike anything in Psalm 18, it seems more accurate to speak of certain citations from the earlier psalms woven into a different poetic context” Alter, 495. Psalm 144 is often called by form critics a royal psalm. This is because of the mention of David within the psalm-144:10 and because of the connections to Psalm 18.

The AI in Business PodcastDo Unto Your Smartphone as You Would Do Unto Others When should we care about robots? How quickly should and will that change? These are just some of the thought points addressed by Professor David Gunkel, whose work on the moral valuations of AI is some of the first of its kind. In this interview, we consider the extent to which our "moral weighing" of other entities is arbitrary, and ask what a biased process might imply when we create other aware entities.
