The Rise of Humanness: Expanding Human Value in the Age of AI

PETER LEYDEN: IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD—IT’S THE DAWNING OF A NEW ONE

🚨 Headlines scream collapse. Crisis. Chaos.
But… what if the future isn’t falling apart—what if it’s just beginning?
In this future-forward episode of The Rise of Humanness in the Age of AI, hosts Chris Nolan and Mike Schindler sit down with bestselling author, tech visionary, and unapologetic optimist Peter Leyden—founder of Reinvent Futures and former managing editor of WIRED—to flip the script on doom. Forget decline. This conversation is all about The Great Progression.
Peter’s Message?
“We’re not falling apart. We’re leveling up—big time.”
 
🚨 This Isn’t the “Great Reset.” It’s the Great Progression.
 
Leyden also teases insights from his forthcoming book 'The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050' and his Substack series.
 
Peter Leyden calls the era from 2025 to 2050 the Great Progression—a once-in-a-civilization leap forward. Imagine the post-WWII boom. Now add the internet revolution. Now multiply by AI. What steam power did for the industrial age, AI will do for human potential—if we build the right operating systems.
 
“AI isn’t just another tool. It’s a world-historic technology. Time to reboot civilization from the OS up.” – Peter Leyden
 
They delve into the significance of AI as a world-changing technology and its unparalleled impact on the economy, society, and even civilization at large. Peter discusses the critical (and turbulent) transition period we're currently navigating, the future of work, the potential for universal basic income, and how AI can create a more abundant and equitable society.

🤖CAN WE TEACH MACHINES TO CARE?  AI is getting smarter. But are WE getting wiser?
In this must-listen episode of The Rise of Humanness Podcast, hosts Chris Nolan and Mike Schindler sit down with Stanford professor James Landay, Co-Director of the Institute for Human-Centered AI, known as HAI, to tackle the big elephant in the room questions:
➡️ Can we build AI that actually serves people?➡️ How do we design machines with ethics, empathy, and intuition in mind?➡️ And what will happen to human jobs when AI can do… well, everything?
🔥 Spoiler alert: If we don’t get this right, we could end up with very powerful, very fast systems that are very wrong for humanity.
💡 In this thought-provoking convo, you’ll learn:✅ The REAL definition of human-centered AI (and why it matters more than ever)✅ Why ethics must be embedded into every AI course, algorithm, and product✅ The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration (yep, we need the philosophers AND the coders)✅ How human intuition can outperform even the smartest machines✅ Why regulation isn’t a dirty word—it’s how we stay human
