R. David Orban Narrates the Audiobook for "Something New"
English now, and Spanish and Italian later
I'm thrilled to announce the release of the audiobook version of "Something New?" narrated by R. David Orban.
In this book I explore the Technological Singularity. A future where artificial intelligences can self modify, choose objectives, and potentially reshape our planet and history. While it's easy to believe that there is nothing new under the sun, every once in a while something truly groundbreaking emerges. The era of artificial intelligence is one such transformative moment.
The question arises: how do we adapt to this unprecedented reality?
Something New? looks at the impact of accelerating technological change and AI on individuals and society. It's a journey to understand and embrace this new era, to prepare for the profound transformations it brings.
Step into a world where the future of AI is a reality shaping our lives!
Subscribe to the podcast of the audiobook on something-new-audiobook.castos.com, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or your podcast software of choice.
The episodes will cover one chapter each, and I plan to release one or two per week. You can find the first two chapters on the podcast feed right now. The total duration will be about 4 hours.
In Isaac Asimov’s ‘Caves of Steel’, robots indistinguishable from humans have to identify themselves by adding an ‘R’ in front of their names.
With AI’s rapid advancements in image generation, voince cloning, and video, are we approaching a time where we’ll need a similar system? AI can now create images, and soon videos, that are nearly indistinguishable from reality. Voice cloning technology is also rapidly advancing. This blurs the line between what’s of human origin and what’s AI-generated. Considering this, I decided to stay ahead of the curve.
I am signing synthetic content with the name ‘R. David Orban' as a nod to Asimov’s vision and a way to distinguish my real identity from AI-generated versions.
As AI becomes more sophisticated, how do we maintain authenticity in digital interactions? Can a chain of trust be established and maintained linking human to human?
