Latest Innovation Show Podcast
In this episode of the innovation show podcast, host Aidan McCullen talks with Byron Reese Founder and CEO of GigaOm and author of “The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers and the Future of Humanity.”
“The questions we will grapple with in today’s show are not about transistors and neurons and algorithms and such. They are about the nature of reality, humanity, and mind. The confusion happens when we begin with “What jobs will robots take from humans?” instead of “What are humans?” Until we answer that second question, we can’t meaningfully address the first.”

The evolution of our brains
Fire as the first technology
Language development
Storytelling
Digital Dementia
Distribution of Labour
The Beginning of Wealth
The Beginning of ownership
The shift to agriculture
The age of computation
Moore’s law
