On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

AGI vs ASI: The future of AI-supported decision making with Louis Rosenberg 54:42

לפני 25 weeks54:42

54:42

In this episode of Neural Search Talks, we have invited Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous.AI, to discuss the future of AI in decision-making, contrasting the development of artificial superintelligence (ASI) with collective human intelligence systems, such as swarm intelligence. In particular, Louis argues that the advancement of AI should focus on amplifying human intelligence rather than replacing it, drawing from the biological inspiration found in nature, where species evolve by connecting individuals into systems that function as a singular intelligent entity, exemplified by schools of fish and swarms of bees.
