AI - The End of Free Will As We Know It? - S1 : E7

In this episode, co-hosts Beth Weesner and Antony Finn dive into one of the most unsettling questions of our time: Is the AI era the end of free will as we know it?

With algorithms predicting our choices before we even make them, AI-generated content shaping what we see, and machine learning models optimizing our behaviors, are we still the architects of our own decisions? Or are we unknowingly surrendering control to artificial intelligence that subtly nudges us in directions we never consciously chose?

Beth and Antony explore the philosophical, ethical, and psychological implications of living in a world where AI not only assists but influences. They break down how data-driven systems manipulate preferences, whether our choices are truly our own, and if free will is becoming an illusion in an age of automation.

Are we still in charge, or is AI quietly rewriting the rules of autonomy? Tune in as we uncover the unseen forces shaping our reality in this thought-provoking episode.

This episode features the AI First Date simulation that Antony and Beth play with using the power of AI suggestion.
