EPISODE 2: FRANKENSTEIN A.I. MORALITY & ETHICS
In this episode, we touch upon the morality and ethics of developing artificial general intelligence, how morality is formed in a person, as well as the role of pain and suffering in the development of morality, the limitations of computer programming in instilling morality, and the human need to see artificial intelligence as more than what it truly is. Our host CHARLEY is joined by guests GEORGE DUTCH (Frankenstein A.I. playwright) SARAH MCKAY (an artist involved in the development of the play) and WILLIAM STEWART (PhD in Computer Science).
EPISODE 4: HUMAN? OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
In this episode, we explore the value of human life and how it can be measured, the quality and nature of human relationships, vocations that may or may not be susceptible to being replaced by artificial intelligence, the sacred act of forgiveness, and the meaning we all get from relationships we have that we cherish and are irreplaceable. Our host CHARLEY is joined by guests DAVID SHERWIN (an ordained minister who majored in psychology with a minor in English literature & history) and LOGAN INDEWEY (a performing artist involved in the development of Frankenstein A.I.).
EPISODE 6: CREATIONS MADE IN WHO'S IMAGE?
In this episode, we explore what it means to be "made in God's image" and how that's lived out or not, the tensions that arise between a creator and their created, the act of "playing God" in developing artificial general intelligence and the human drive for immortality, as well as the competing and differently ranked values and pluralistic beliefs in the world that prevent a common consensus on how A.I. should be developed, and what ethics should be considered or instilled. Our host CHARLEY is joined by returning guest GEORGE DUTCH (Frankenstein A.I. playwright) and brand new guest ALEXANDRIA POSKUS (a performing artist involved in the development of Frankenstein A.I.)
EPISODE 1: FRANKENSTEIN A.I. STORY & CONTEXT
This is the first episode in a series exploring the themes and ideas in a brand new original theatrical work, Frankenstein A.I. In this episode, we touch upon the origins of the novel and the context in which the play was written as well as scratch the surface on many of the moral and ethical aspects of the development of artificial general intelligence and what it means to be human. Our host Charley is joined by guests GEORGE DUTCH (Frankenstein A.I. playwright) and KELTIE NEWMARCH (an artist involved in the play's development).
EPISODE 3: A.I. HELPER OR HAZARD, FRIEND OR FOE?
In this episode, we discuss the potential benefits and down-sides to artificial intelligence replacing jobs and tasks that are dull, dirty, and dangerous, and whether or not the technology will free us from burdens, the role of A.I. in the industries of radio, media, entertainment, and the creative arts, as well as what it means to be an artist and creative, and what truly is art and how it impacts us as humans. Our host CHARLEY is joined by returning guest GEORGE DUTCH (Frankenstein A.I. playwright) and CARE BALDWIN (radio host and performing artist).
EPISODE 5: TRANSHUMANISM & EMPATHY
In this episode, we discuss transhumanism, whether or not A.I. would be or could be a successor species, the benefits of technological development in prolonging human life and enhancing its quality, the strengths and vulnerabilities of being human, the importance of empathy, the human biological advantage over A.I., and the motivations behind developing artificial intelligence at a rapid pace with no safeguards. Our host CHARLEY is joined by returning guests KELTIE NEWMARCH (a performing artist involved in the development of Frankenstein A.I.) and WILLIAM STEWART (PhD in Computer Science).
