Should We Fear Technology? Ft. Ahmed Hatem

This week I sat down with my friend, Ahmed Hatem, originally from Egypt, Ahmed came to UBC to study computer science and microbiology and I regard him as one of the smartest people I know. We dig into the potential pitfalls technology has to offer us in the coming years, the lack of self-reflection from humanity as a whole, God algorithms and much more. It was incredibly enlightening for me and I hope you all enjoy! 0:0:00 Intro 0:2:20 The Big Question 0:10:00 Impending Cyber Doom? 0:15:00 Human’s obsession with abstraction 0:23:00 Figuring out where we fit in to nature 0:30:00 Taking time to think about what we’re doing 0:40:00 The role of young people 0:51:00 Causal algorithms 1:00:00 The problem with the higher education system 1:09:00 Closing remarks
