Human Energy Podcast

Human Energy was founded to share a new scientific & cosmic story introducing the noosphere as a source of meaning for future generations in our globalizing world. Today we face the unprecedented challenges of rapid social change and new technologies which, together with the scientific picture of an aimless universe, have created a crisis of orientation. Human Energy was founded by scientists, scholars, artists, and storytellers to highlight the causal conditions to our challenges and provide solutions for current and future generations. We articulate these solutions through the "Third Story" worldview (https://humanenergy.io/the-three-stories-of-the-universe/) with focus on the emerging noosphere. We are beginning to visualize the noosphere’s formation; study its potential future scenarios as humanity takes more and more control of its future course; and explore how human beings connecting across the world may realize themselves socially and individually in its dev

  Episode #4

  Michael Muthukrishna with David Sloan Wilson - Evolving Alignment Podcast

  Sep 30, 202653 minS6

  Michael Muthukrishna is Professor of Economic Psychology at New York University & London School of Economics. His research spans cultural evolution, psychology, economics, and artificial intelligence, exploring how culture transformed our species into a uniquely cooperative form of collective intelligence. He is the author of A Theory of Everyone, which argues that understanding the evolutionary principles underlying human societies is essential to meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century. Human intelligence did not evolve in isolation—it emerged through culture, cooperation, and the accumulation of knowledge across generations. David Sloan Wilson and Michael Muthukrishna discuss how cultural evolution created the “collective brain,” why these evolutionary processes matter more than ever in the age of AI, and how understanding them can help guide humanity through the major transition now underway. --- This episode is from the podcast, Evolving Alignment. Evolving Alignment explores one of the central questions of our time: How can humanity and artificial intelligence coevolve in ways that enhance cooperation, creativity, and human flourishing? Hosted by evolutionary scientist David Sloan Wilson, each episode features leading thinkers from fields including evolutionary biology, cultural evolution, artificial intelligence, economics, psychology, philosophy, complexity science, and the social sciences. Rather than focusing on the narrow technical challenge of aligning AI systems with human interests, these conversations examine the broader evolutionary processes that have enabled living systems to solve problems of cooperation at ever higher levels of complexity, producing increasingly sophisticated forms of biological and cultural organization. Can we learn from the deep history of evolution to shape a future in which humans and AI cooperate rather than compete, and develop new forms of collective intelligence we can only begin to imagine today? Evolving Alignment brings together many of the world’s leading researchers to explore these questions—and to consider how the choices we make today may influence the future evolution of intelligence itself. Evolving Alignment is presented by Human Energy, a catalytic hub for evolving collective consciousness. ‍Learn more about Human Energy here, https://www.humanenergy.io/about

  Athena Aktipis with David Sloan Wilson - Evolving Alignment Podcast

  Sep 29, 202656 minS6

  Athena Aktipis is the Founding Director of the Cooperative Futures Institute and Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University. Her research spans evolutionary biology, psychology, cancer biology, and cooperation science, exploring the principles that enable cooperation to emerge and persist across systems—from cells and organisms to human societies and artificial intelligence. She is the author of The Cheating Cell and a leading voice on applying cooperation science to today’s global challenges. As humanity enters an era shaped by increasingly powerful AI systems, Aktipis argues that the science of cooperation offers a roadmap for creating technologies and institutions that help people flourish together. David Sloan Wilson and Athena Aktipis explore what cooperation science can teach us about AI, how cooperation emerges across biological and social systems, and how those insights can help us build technologies and institutions that better serve humanity. --- This episode is from the podcast, Evolving Alignment.

  Alex Pentland with David Sloan Wilson - Evolving Alignment Podcast

  Aug 13, 202650 minS6

  Alex ‘Sandy’ Pentland is a Stanford Human-Centered AI Fellow, MIT Toshiba Professor, and one of the world’s most influential computer scientists. His work has helped pioneer computational social science, collective intelligence, and data-driven approaches to understanding how people cooperate, communicate, and make decisions. As artificial intelligence becomes woven into every aspect of society, Pentland argues that its greatest potential is not replacing human intelligence, but strengthening it. David Sloan Wilson and Sandy Pentland explore how AI can help communities solve problems collectively, preserve human agency, and build more democratic and cooperative institutions. Along the way, they discuss cultural evolution, collective intelligence, governance, cities, data cooperatives, and why the future of AI depends less on creating smarter machines than on helping people become wiser together. --- This episode is from the podcast, Evolving Alignment.

  Iyad Rahwan with David Sloan Wilson - Evolving Alignment Podcast

  Aug 12, 202641 minS6

  Iyad Rahwan is the Director of the Center for Humans and Machines at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. He is a pioneer in the emerging fields of machine behavior and machine culture, in which AI systems are studied through the same scientific evolutionary lens long used to understand the behavior of living systems. As AI systems become increasingly autonomous and begin interacting with one another as well as with people, understanding their behavior may become as important as understanding the technology itself. David Sloan Wilson and Iyad Rahwan explore what it means to study AI as a new kind of evolving actor, and what that perspective can teach us about building more cooperative relationships between humans and intelligent machines. --- This episode is from the podcast, Evolving Alignment.
