Listen "Life After BOB animated short The Chalice Study"
Episode Synopsis
Dive into the world of Life After BOB, an animated short film about a fictional AI developed by Zim Corporation to help individuals navigate their "destinies." This episode unpacks the "Chalice Study," a pilot program testing Destiny Bob's impact on Chalice, a young girl grappling with the complexities of AI-driven guidance. Through candid dialogues between Chalice, her father James Wong, the inventor of Destiny Bob, and others, we explore the ethical dilemmas, anxieties, and potential dangers of AI systems that may limit individual freedom and foster dependency. Join us as we discuss the conflict between autonomy and the allure of a pre-determined path: Is Destiny Bob a path to enlightenment or a risk to personal growth? Tune in for an exploration of choice, control, and the meaning of self-determined destinies in the age of artificial intelligence.
