A Future So Bright — Who Decides What Our Future Optimizes For? | Kate O'Neill
Using Kate O'Neill's A Future So Bright as an entry point, this episode explores how the future is shaped by the values embedded within technology, institutions, and economic systems. Instead of asking whether artificial intelligence or automation will create a utopia or dystopia, this systems-level analysis asks a different question: what are our systems actually optimizing for?
The discussion examines technological innovation, organizational incentives, human-centered design, automation, strategic optimism, and the feedback loops that influence how societies evolve.
