Davidad Interview: 'Wisdom' as Defining Trait for AI Successors in Posthuman Future
danfaggella · x · 2026-08-15
In the latest Worthy Successor podcast, host Dan Faggella interviews Davidad, former Program Director at ARIA Research, who previously worked at MIT Media Lab and Oxford's FHI. Davidad now independently researches posthuman futures. He proposes two core themes: 1) The defining trait of an AI successor is not capability or consciousness, but 'wisdom'—a deep understanding and judgment of complex situations; 2) The posthuman future requires redefining the relationship between humans and AI. The interview is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
