AI is impacting every part of our lives—and we need to start paying more attention.
Watch this fascinating conversation with Sam Brown, founder of Quantum Canvas, a “spirit tech” company that uses AI to interpret interference patterns between human minds and quantum fields, without input.
We discuss:
“Spirit tech” and what happens when consciousness and technology converge
How Quantum Canvas is exploring AI as a potential “mirror to the psyche”
The potential risks of technology that’s responsive to our inner states
What all of this could mean for our relationship with reality, our sense of belonging in the world, and empathy for one another
If you’re keen to explore the role of quantum physics in human-AI interactions and how technology may one day be capable of reading our inner states—you don’t want to miss this
conversation.
