Have you ever wondered about the potential perils that AI and the Metaverse might hold for our future?

In this episode I had an enlightening conversation with Louis Rosenberg, a pioneer in virtual and augmented reality and the founder of Unanimous AI. We didn't shy away from discussing the dark side of the emerging Metaverse, balancing its advantages with the ethical and privacy issues it raises.

With AI's growing influence, Louis emphasized the urgency for regulatory frameworks to ensure that these technologies are used ethically. Our dialogue was not just an exchange of ideas but a clarion call for leaders and innovators to approach AI with the utmost responsibility, to amplify rather than diminish human capabilities.

Join our conversation to hear more about:

• The transformative impact of generative AI on personal and professional spheres.
• The concept of swarm intelligence and its role in fostering a collective superintelligence aligned with human values.
• The ethical and privacy concerns surrounding the Metaverse and AI's persuasive power.
• The necessity for regulatory oversight to ensure the ethical use of AI and Metaverse technologies.
• The potential of collective intelligence in organizations and how ThinkScape can unlock it.

Our discussion through the intersection of AI and the Metaverse reveals a landscape filled with both promise and precaution. As we stand on the brink of these technological advancements, it is imperative that we navigate with foresight and a commitment to uphold the human spirit.

Louis Rosenberg, PhD is an early pioneer of virtual and augmented reality and a longtime AI researcher. His work began over thirty years ago in VR labs at NASA and the U.S. Air Force where he developed the first mixed reality system (Virtual Fixtures platform) enabling users to interact with a combined spatial reality of real and virtual objects. In 1993, he founded the early VR company Immersion Corporation and brought it public on Nasdaq. In 2004 he founded Outland Research, an early developer of augmented reality and spatial media technology acquired by Google in 2011. In 2014 he founded Unanimous AI, a company focused on amplifying the intelligence of networked human groups in pursuit of Collective Superintelligence. He received his PhD from Stanford University, was a tenured professor at California State University, and has been awarded over 300 patents for VR, AR, and AI technologies. His latest book, Our Next Reality, was published in March by Hachette.
