Podcast Overview

We're living through a moment of unprecedented technological possibility, yet most people only hear about one version of the future—usually the most dramatic or profitable one. AI will replace all jobs. Biotech will solve everything. Space is our escape plan. But these singular narratives obscure the reality: we have choices, and those choices will determine which future we actually get. Each episode of Possible Futures explores the lesser-known possibilities and alternative pathways that exist beyond the usual. Hosted by Singularity Fellow: Gary Bolles

AI, Mobility & The Near Future with Carlo van de Weijer | Singularity University

<p>Carlo van de Weijer is a mechanical engineer, longtime automotive innovator (incl. TomTom/Siemens), and Managing Director at the Eindhoven AI Institute. We explore what AI really is (goal-oriented adaptive systems), why mobility is a perfect testbed, and how sensors are exploding. At the same time, actuators are improving linearly, and this has significant implications for self-driving, humanoid robots, education, leadership, regulation, and job opportunities in the next 2–3 years. </p><p><br></p><p>What you’ll learn:</p><p>- A clear, practical definition of AI (beyond “automation” and chatbots)</p><p>- Why mobility + AI matters: compute on wheels, data loops, safety, emissions</p><p>- Sensors vs. actuators: the exponential that’s quietly changing everything- How leaders should actually use AI (prompts, guardrails, real productivity)</p><p>- Jobs: what gets automated vs. where humans add value Industries poised to benefit now (legal, transportation, energy/EVs, V2G)</p><p>- Risks &amp; guardrails: EU AI Act, Asimov-style constraints, “playing with fire”</p><p>- Education &amp; parenting: teaching thinking, not just testing- A realistic 10–15 year view: more prosperity, less friction, human constants</p>

Emeline Paat-Dahlstrom on How Space Must Be Democratized | Singularity University

<p>Emeline Pat Dahlstrom, co-founder of Space Limited and coordinator of the Global Space Enablers Network, breaks down how access to space is shifting from government-only to truly global. We trace the inflection point from smallsats (Planet) to today’s open satellite data, why ecosystem-building matters, and how countries and founders can plug in. Emily contrasts an “Elysium” outcome with a Star Trek vision, and shares practical ways students, operators, and policymakers can get involved now. If you care about earth-impacting applications (GPS/banking, climate, agriculture), this episode maps what’s coming next.</p><p><br></p>
