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.


• Take the course – Search for “Building Hopeful Futures with AI” on Udemy or visit existentialhope.com

• Submit your vision – Share your optimistic vision for 2035 using the form at existentialhope.com, and explore submissions from others.

• Spread the word – If you know someone who could use a hopeful perspective on our AI future, invite them to join this journey!

Existential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future so that we can have more people commit to creating a brighter future, and to begin mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it. Existential Hope is a Foresight Institute project.
