In This Episode
Can robots become our best friends… or will they eventually kill us?!
We sat down with Julian Johnson to explore how AI and tech advancement might help us move toward an age of deepened connection.
Together we weave a mycelium of futurist ideas and earth-rooted principles, dreaming up systems that address scarcity, regenerate nature, accelerate innovation, and superpower the globe.
Julian speaks to the collective fears around robots, gives insight from his personal journey as an entrepreneur, and tells us the project he’s most excited about – his school in the slums of Kenya.
P.s. the audio quality is best from 15m50s onwards, but the conversation is great from the very start!
