In this special episode of AI Knowhow, we’re airing the entire conversation between Knownwell Chief Strategy Officer Pete Buer and Christian Madsbjerg, author of the new book, LOOK: How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World.
This is a perfect interview for this week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, as it asks us to think critically about both machines and humanity itself. Pete and Christian explore topics including:
- What makes humans human in the first place?
- How does human philosophy shape our understanding of the world?
- What is the nature of machine intelligence?
Christian speaks eloquently about the nature of humanity, creativity, ingenuity, and more. Select portions of this interview were included in the last episode of AI Knowhow, What it Means to be Human in the Age of AI. Be sure to tune into that episode as well for a conversation between David DeWolf, Courtney Baker, and Mohan Rao about the importance of the humanities in the AI era.

Episode Highlights
- Christian shares the concept of phenomenology, which is studying how humans experience the world as living beings from a sensory perspective in different ways than machines
- Pete and Christian discuss other aspects of humanity that differentiate humans from machines, including looking at life through the lens of care
- Christian shares his thoughts on why the idea of AI or other technology becoming an all-knowing “truth machine” is as misguided as the old Oracle of Delphi. Technology will always be extensions of man that support our experience, but they won’t become the core of it
