I'm Lori Siegel, and I've spent my career looking around the corners, asking people who are building the future, not just about technology, but also about humans. Folks like OpenAI Sam Altman. What happens when it gets smarter than we are? When do you think that'll happen? In our lifetimes. I love technology. I just don't want it to happen to us. That's why I'm launching mostly human, a weekly podcast that will serve as your bridge to the future.

Anyone can now be an entrepreneur. anyone can build an app, and it's very empowering. Together, we'll look at what's coming next. From extraordinary possibilities, do you really think you can bring back the woolly mammoth? I think that if we're able to accomplish everything that we want to do, I think you're going into areas like Alaska and you're seeing healthy populations of mammoths.

To the darkest corners of innovation. This is awesome technology. Is it bad I want a deep fake of my sister-in-law? It felt like it was being done to me physically. tech moves really fast, but on mostly human, we'll translate what this actually means for you. What I come to realize is that when people think that they're dating this AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this. Do you think it's okay for people to get therapy using chat GPT?

I don't think we have a choice. You know, I think the reality is the genies out of the bottle. We're going to take you to some wild places. Hey, David, we have strong evidence that you're behind Mr. Deepak. and raise the red flags before anyone else does. It felt like the AI was stalking me. We're protecting your identity today. Yeah.

Because AI was obsessed with you. We're experiencing one of the most extraordinary tech accelerations in human history. And you deserve to benefit from all of it. Who's winning humans or AI? We have to make it so the humans win. My promise for you is we will always look at tech through the most important lens, the human one. The thing that keeps us all human

and the thing that really matters for our mental health, for our groundedness, you know, up until this point at least for the evolution of our species is the way we connect with one another. Listen to mostly human on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.
