This episode takes on the dominance of technology-driven futures. We talk to James McGrail PhD candidate at Leiden’s Anthropology department whose work lies at the intersection of AI and Muslim futures in Singapore. We also dive in transhumanism, ethical AI and what all this means for Muslim imaginaries.
