Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: The Rise of Embodied AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when artificial intelligence leaves the screen and enters the physical world? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore the rise of embodied AI—machines that do not merely recognize, generate, or plan, but perceive, move, adapt, and act. From humanoid robots sprinting, fighting, and falling at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing to Yann LeCun’s work on world models, this episode examines why physical intelligence may be the next major
Knowledge is Power: AI and the Destruction of Books (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when books are no longer destroyed to erase knowledge—but to extract it? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code , I explore the strange new biblioclasm of the Intelligence Age: physical books purchased, dismantled, scanned, and discarded so their contents can become machine-readable data. From Nazi book burnings and banned works of José Rizal to hidden Martial Law collections and modern AI training pipelines, this episode traces the changing relationship
The Myth of the Machine: Artificial Intelligence and Human Projection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why are we so eager to believe that artificial intelligence wants, fears, knows, or even awakens?

From Claude’s simulated blackmail and shutdown resistance to claims that AI may already be conscious—or that humanity has entered the singularity—t
The Difficulty of Not Knowing: AI and Life’s Uncertainties (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why is artificial intelligence so comforting when we do not know what to do? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore how generative AI may appeal not only because it is efficient, but because it offers immediate answers when uncertainty feels difficult. Drawing from a study of 677 adult generative AI users, this episode examines the relationships among intolerance of uncertainty, competitiveness, narcissism, and problematic AI use. AI can turn hesitation in
From Results to Responses: AI and the Evolution of Internet Search (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when a search engine stops pointing us toward information and begins interpreting it for us? In this episode of AnthroIntelligence: Culture, Cognition, and Code, I explore the shift from search engines to answer engines—and the quiet transfer of judgment that comes with it. Traditional search required users to compare sources, resolve contradictions, and decide what to trust. AI-generated answers now perform much of that work before the response reaches the screen, producing clear a
