Reny Taylor & Dr. Gilmore: Paradoxes Of Being: Humanism, Race & AI In The 4Th Industrial RevolutionIn this conversation, Reny Taylor and Dr. Gilmore take up Sylvia Wynter’s framework of Man to explore the paradoxes of being in an age shaped by humanism, race, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on Wynter’s critique of the overrepresentation of “Man,” they consider how the 4th Industrial Revolution both reproduces old inequalities and opens space for rethinking what it means to be human. Their dialogue moves through questions of race and humanism, the impact of AI and automation, and the possibilities for imagining new genres of being human in the face of global transformation.
