Jamie Metzl is a writer, futurist, and leading thinker on artificial intelligence, biotechnology, genetics, geopolitics, and the future of humanity. He is the author of Hacking Darwin, Superconvergence, and The AI Ten Commandments, and has worked across international affairs, human rights, global policy, and emerging technologies. 

In this episode, I speak with Jamie Metzl about artificial intelligence and the present and future of humanity. We begin with Jamie’s smile and his particular kind of optimism, one that does not avoid darkness but insists on looking directly at it. From there we move into grief: the loss of his father, the pain of war, the emotional cost of technological acceleration, and the things we may already be losing without knowing how to mourn them. Jamie speaks about the need to stay connected to life even inside the cave of grief, the importance of zero-technology spaces, the danger of algorithms that monetize our attention, and why human creativity, presence, embodiment, and love remain irreplaceable. This is not a conversation about whether AI is good or bad. It is a conversation about what kind of humans we will need to become in order to meet the future without surrendering our humanity.

As always, your comments are very valuable to me. 
Thank you for sharing and co-creating better questions with me. 

With love,

Victor
