This isn’t an AI revolution, it’s a human renaissance
With Stephanie Antonian, Director at Aestora.
The conversation
Why this matters
Stephanie Antonian joins Sarah to examine the gap between how AI is marketed and how machine learning actually works. They discuss prediction, human judgement, commercial incentives, trust and the more hopeful possibility that AI-driven sameness could spark a human renaissance.
Key ideas
- Why machine learning should not be confused with rational intelligence.
- How prediction systems can reinforce assumptions from the past.
- Why creativity, physical experience and human connection may become more valuable.
“I don’t even think this is a revolution. I think it’s more of a renaissance.”
