What if we’ve been asking the wrong questions about AI?
What if it’s not just about what AI can do, but instead who we become in relationship with it?
What if the real challenge isn’t technological, but moral, ecological, and civilisational?
Welcome to Episode 109 of TIE Unearthed.
This week I’m joined by Caroline Chubb Calderon, futurist, humanist, and one of the Top 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics.
She’s the founder of Hello Humanity, a bold futures practice reimagining the role of AI in a flourishing world.
Caroline doesn’t just talk about AI ethics. She challenges us to shift our entire worldview; from extraction to regeneration, from automation to imagination, from machine alignment to Life alignment.
In this conversation, we explore:
🧭 Why regenerative economics, not efficiency at all costs, may be our only sustainable path forward
🌱 What it means to align AI with the principles of life, and the danger if we don’t
💡 The power of moral imagination and why it’s the leadership skill of our time
🧬 How awe, curiosity, and deep human intelligence are our greatest assets in the age of intelligent machines
🌍 Why we must dream differently, and how a small, committed group really can tip the system
We also talk about AGI, ASI, digital relationships, and why the real question isn’t what these technologies can do for us, but instead who we are becoming as we live alongside them.
As Caroline reminds us: if we don’t design AI intentionally in service to Life… it will be unintentionally designed against it.
This one’s not just for the technologists. It’s for anyone who cares about the future of humanity, and the role we each have to play in shaping it.
So grab that favourite beverage, or put on those running shoes, and here is Caroline.
