Existential Hope podcast | Worldbuilding for a Hopeful AI Future
About this episode
In this special “minisode” of the Existential Hope podcast, Allison and Beatrice from Foresight Institute sit down to discuss their newly launched, free worldbuilding course on Udemy: The AI Futures Worldbuilding course. This course—created in partnership with the Future of Life Institute—helps participants imagine and shape positive visions for AI’s impact on technology, governance, economics, and everyday life.
Hear about expert guest lectures from leaders like Anousheh Ansari (XPRIZE), Helen Toner (CSET), Hannah Ritchie (Our World in Data), Ada Palmer (University of Chicago), Anthony Aguirre (FLI), and more. If you’re curious how to chart a better future with AI, or simply need a dose of optimism, tune in for practical insights and inspiring ideas.
