Descripción del Episodio

Artificial Intelligence is already woven into our daily lives, but do we really know the consequences? Will it transform our lives for the better or will its unchecked power cause us harm? Who is controlling it? Oprah, experts and an audience explore what’s been being called a tectonic shift in human society. Oprah speaks with Academy Award–winning filmmaker Daniel Roher about his new documentary The A.I. Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, in theaters on March 27th. The film is a powerful look at this rapidly advancing technology and the many ways it will impact society. Oprah is joined by Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin of the Center for Humane Technology, who break down what AI really is, who’s building it and why some experts are sounding the alarm. Futurist Sinead Bovell offers insight into how AI could reshape everything from work to global power dynamics. We also hear from people whose lives have already been transformed by AI from finding emotional connection through chatbots, to business profitability, to confronting the impact of deepfake images and when using chatbots as therapy can have fatal consequences. It’s a candid, thought-provoking conversation about the extraordinary possibilities of AI and the potential dangers. The experts offer practical ways we can prepare and how to hold the companies deploying the technology accountable.

The Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is a nonpartisan organization founded by technologists working to realign the incentives driving today’s technology so it better serves humanity. Through a distinctive approach that combines public awareness, policy reform, and technical expertise, CHT creates change by first bringing clarity to how tech systems impact our psychology and society, and then transforming those incentives through interventions like legislation, litigation, and large-scale campaigns. Its initiatives include the widely influential Your Undivided Attention podcast, policy advocacy, and hands-on technical demonstrations that aim to reduce harms from AI and social media while shaping a more humane, responsible tech ecosystem.
