Between Algorithms, Borders, and Emotions: The New Map of the World

While some debate whether artificial intelligence should be more polite or sarcastic, the real world teeters between geopolitical tension, fragile economies, and human emotions running high. In this week's episode, Luis and Umberto dive into a raw and thoughtful conversation about the real impact of technology, economic instability, and the sociopolitical shifts we're already living through.

Reporting from Cambridge, Umberto shares insights from a series of conferences on the philosophy of technology, focused on how tools like ChatGPT are shaping human thought. Can a more ironic and less "polished" AI create better emotional connections?

Meanwhile, Luis reflects on how political and economic volatility has shaken financial markets—and what that means for those trying to launch or sustain businesses amidst the chaos.
