Honing In is a podcast for creative thinkers where we’ll hone our skills, explore our passions, and nurture our dream projects into being.
On today’s episode of Honing In, we’re asking a big question: how can our society address the rapid growth of AI technologies in a way that feels ethically intact? Philosopher of technology, Dr. Madelaine Ley, suggests an explorative approach that invites us to slow down, reflect, and feel, not just to moralize or optimize.
Madelaine guides us through how her motivations and interests have developed since pursuing a PhD in Care in Responsible Technology. We also explore Spiritual Ecology as a way to connect with the earth, question the ethics of technological advancement, and become sensitive to the many options available to us about how we choose to engage.
If you’re curious about the robot in your local grocery store or have been wondering what sits at the intersection of technology and integrity, this conversation is for you.
Together, we hone in on:
- Philosophy as a generous, curious, and explorative practice
- How we feel about the emergence of robots in our everyday lives
- What Spiritual Ecology is and the perspective it offers about the morals of technology
- Starting points for challenging our perspectives about technology and AI
- Contemplative art and making space and time for reflection
- Gestures: Madelaine’s upcoming project that explores ethics beyond morality
