Sleepwalkers

Deus Ex Machina

The rules are changing. At a time when technology promises to allow the lame to walk and the blind to see, we're forced to ask: what makes us uniquely human? In this final episode of Season 1, we speak with the so-called "sage of Silicon Valley," Yuval Noah Harari, about humanity's future. We try out technology that claims to deliver on a miracle, and we meet the source of several new innovations being created by people normally left out of the laboratory.  In this episode: Professor <a href="https://ynharari.com/">Yuval Noah Harari</a>, <a href="http://robots.stanford.edu/">Sebastian Thrun</a> of Google X and Kitty Hawk, <a href="https://www.futureofsex.org/">Bryony Cole</a> of Future of Sex, musician <a href="https://www.noemusic.net/">Noe Socha</a>, and <a href="https://www.neurobio.pitt.edu/faculty/schwartz.htm">Dr. Andy Schwartz</a> of the University of Pittsburgh.  Special thanks to <a href="https://forward.com/">The Forward</a>, and <a href="https://makeitallwork.com/">Make It All Work</a>.  Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
