What’s in this video

A conversation with author and scientist David Brin about his science fiction career, near-future forecasting, and concerns about artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Listeners will hear how his books (like Startide Rising and Alien Minds) approach uplift, privacy, self-preventing prophecies, and why near-term predictions are increasingly difficult yet important.

  • Brin modeled his near-future novels on John Brunner’s Stand on Zanzibar
  • Alien Minds addresses AI origins and speaks directly to future AIs
  • Science fiction can act as a self-preventing prophecy influencing policy
  • Near-term projections under 50 years are now especially challenging
