Human experience designer and conversational AI specialist Sébastien Fouillard joins me today to recount his radical ”Matrix breakout” moment during a Kriya yoga session. We explore the delicate balance between high-tech innovation and soul-led living, the ethics of engineering human-like AI agents, and how deprogramming corporate conditioning allows us to reclaim our sacred inner space.
