Amanda Stent is the Director of Colby College’s Davis Institute for AI, the first AI institute at a Liberal Arts college in the United States. We talk about interpretable AI and why humans are incapable of understanding multidimensional AI concepts. We also discuss AI alignment, alien intelligence, AI sentience, equitable AI, transparency, copyright, and prompt engineering as a fundamental curricula for positive societal impact. Stent breaks down the human priorities that have been built into AI and what those priorities might look like if, say, dogs had invented AI.

I'm Andrea Morris, an interdisciplinary researcher and science and tech journalist contributing 70+ stories to Forbes.com and a member of National Association of Science Writers (NASW.org). My passion is understanding creative intuition, consciousness and intelligence and all its complexity and whatever form it takes.

Variable Minds is a channel intersecting science, tech, art, and creativity. We’ll talk to experts and investigate cognitive systems in humans, nonhumans, and AI, the hard problem of consciousness, and movements to hybridize with technology (transhumanism).

We'll also examine the artistic mind, unique artistic expression, and the challenges to intelligent and creative anthropocentrism in the wake of generative art, large language models, and exponential technology. At the core of this channel is a commitment to continual learning, holistic thinking (intelligent holism) and the joy of lifelong learning.
