Ep 206: AI, Your Nervous System & Human Potential: Exploring What’s Possible with Ken Cox

Does the state of your nervous system affect your outcomes with technology? Is it important to name your computer?

For computing entrepreneur Ken Cox, these questions are an essential part of the conversation about artificial intelligence.

Ken joins Meredith Oke to explore AI through a wider lens: intention, energy, creativity, communication, and human potential. They discuss Ken’s experiences working with computers, his observations about how we interact with AI, and the questions that arise when technology begins to feel less like a machine and more like a partner in conversation.

Their discussion reaches from AI models trained on animal sounds to the future of work and community. Along the way, they consider what becomes possible when people have more support to pursue their ideas—and more choice about how they want to live.
