Lyle Maxson Part 2

Lyle Maxson is a serial entrepreneur building what he calls benevolent technology (tech that makes us more human). Across five startups in twelve years he has co-created SoundSelf, a video game therapeutic that entered a clinical trial pathway for mental health, launched a Meta-funded VR education platform, and served on Unity's advisory board for its Unity for Humanity project. He returns for part two to map the middle path between AI psychosis and transhumanism. His current project is Above, an AI wearable for consciousness growth.
