Will AI Products Save Humanity or Destroy It? with Dr. Ken Ford

About this episode

Artificial Intelligence or AI, as it’s so commonly known, feels like a tool of the future. As it stands today, models like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, and hundreds of others are quickly becoming widely used tools for writing, researching, painting, and music creation, all at the push of a button. But now, every industry is asking what else can be done with AI. Should we make better deep fakes? Could AI products improve our physical and mental health, and even enhance our human potential? Most importantly, with constant news of AI products fabricating people and conversations, how do we know that what is being served up to us is real and true?

In this conversation, Dr. Dave Rabin brings you an unusual conversation with one of the world’s leading AI experts, Dr. Ken Ford PhD, founder & CEO Emeritus of the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC). Dr. Ford explains what AI really is, how it differs from human intelligence, why AI products might be lying to us more than we think, and how it’s already being used to solve some of humanity’s biggest problems and enhance our understanding of the mind. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear the voice of a great mind who rarely appears in interviews.
