Akakū Upstairs returns on Thursday April 18th with Jay April, President/CEO of Akakū who will be taking a philosophical look at the paradigm shift we are experiencing with AI.

The civilization we have today is ending and we are entering a new era where Human Intelligence (HI) is being superseded by Artificial Intelligence (AI) at breakneck speed. It has already infiltrated your life and your workplace whether you realize it or not. We are creating non-human entities smarter than us, and they code themselves to get smarter every day. They never stop to eat, sleep or go to the bathroom. We are creating a Godlike technology that has the ability to deceive millions of people at once, or create a scale of magic and wonder never seen before. Will this immense newfound power elevate humanity or destroy it? We will explore some examples of some AI products and screen videos from AI pioneers like the dystopian Tristan Harris (Co-Founder of Center for Humane Technology) and the utopian Reid Hoffman (Co-founder & Executive Chairman of LinkedIn).

We look forward to bringing Maui Nui together once again to share, learn, and be inspired by local stories, elevating community and conversation.
