Episode Synopsis

Author Naomi Alderman (The Power) examines how pasttechnological revolutions—writing, the printing press—reshaped human cognition and society. Her insights reveal a pattern: each wave of innovation brought both empowerment and dislocation. Today’s challenge is to harness AI without letting it erode agency or meaning and her views provide context from history in that regard. The Third Information Crisis - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0020xrshttps://naomialderman.com/
