  • Resumen

  • Hosted by Marco Ciappelli | Audio Signals Podcast is repositioning its antennas! Formerly hosted by both ITSPmagazine's Co-Founders Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin as a way to venture away from The Intersection Of Technology, Cybersecurity, and Society and discover other stories worth to be told, Marco is now hosting the show and decided to focus not just on the stories, but on the storytellers. A few words from the host: "I am Marco Ciappelli, the host of the Audio Signal podcast. I am excited to announce a new direction for our show: from now on, we will focus on storytelling in all its diverse forms. Storytelling is at the core of our human societal experience. It is how we transmit knowledge, share experiences, and communicate our values. Stories are more than just narratives - they are bridges that connect us, shaping our worldview and identity. They are the threads that weave together the fabric of our collective consciousness, revealing the complexity and richness of the human condition. In our modern, hybrid analog-digital society, the art of storytelling holds even greater importance. As technology brings us closer together, stories have the power to break down barriers, foster understanding, and build a sense of shared human experience in an increasingly interconnected world. Whether you are authors, screenwriters, filmmakers, directors, poets, playwrights, oral storytellers, songwriters, musicians, journalists, documentarians, comedians, graphic novelists, comic book writers, podcasters, video game designers, dancers, choreographers, etc. - each one of you contributes to this grand tapestry of human experience. Through your chosen medium, you articulate narratives that provoke thought, inspire, entertain, and illuminate the myriad corners of our existence. So, in recognizing this, I am repositioning our antennas and shifting our Podcast to spotlight the fantastic storytelling universe, focusing on the storytellers themselves. I invite you to join me on this journey to share your passion, craft, and the stories that truly make us human. Let's continue the timeless tradition of storytelling together in this new, evolving digital era. If you would like to be on the show, please submit a request, and hopefully, you will be on the show to share your narratives with our audience! Over now!

Marco Van Den Berg Scholten, a basketball coach and author, joins the conversation from the Netherlands to discuss his insights on technology's role in our lives, his latest book, In Search of Achilles, and the value of preserving human stories.The Intersection of Two Marcos: Marco Ciappelli introduces Marco Van Den Berg Scholten, highlighting their first encounter and the shared fascination with storytelling. Although Van Den Berg Scholten is Dutch, the two share the same first name, which serves as a bridge in their dialogue about technology and its impact on society.A Journey Through Time: Van Den Berg Scholten takes listeners on a journey through his life, beginning with his upbringing as a member of Generation X. His narrative is filled with twists and turns, from his love for basketball and its untimely interruption due to an injury, to his eventual role as a coach in the Netherlands' top league. Scholten outlines the process that led him to put his long-thought-of novel to paper, detailing the discipline required to balance writing and coaching.The Struggle for Moral Foundations: Central to the discussion is a shared concern over what Van Den Berg Scholten describes as humanity's increasingly tenuous grasp on moral values in the face of rapid technological advancement. Both Marcos explore the conflicts between old-world values and the capitalist-driven landscape that emerged post-Berlin Wall. Scholten likens the modern dilemma to the philosophical struggles depicted by Nietzsche and Heidegger, reiterating the essential need for a solid moral foundation amid changing times and technologies.Balancing Tradition with Change: The conversation transitions to how humanity can balance the undeniable benefits of technology with the risk of losing connection to deeper, time-tested values. Van Den Berg Scholten emphasizes the role of storytelling in ensuring that these moral values are passed on to future generations. He asserts that while technology like social media can unite us, it also has the potential to exploit and distort reality, especially among younger populations.Stories as a Medium of Connection: Ciappelli and Van Den Berg Scholten both agree on the enduring power of narrative to bind communities and convey essential truths. Ciappelli shares his own experiences of writing magical and morally-inclined stories for children with his mother, reflecting a shared conviction in the importance of instilling values through storytelling.Looking Ahead: Wrapping up the podcast, they touch upon the future of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on storytelling and human behavior.

  • The Intersection of Real Life, Prophecies, Cutting Edge Technology, and Storytelling | A conversation with Guy Morris | Audio Signals Podcast With Marco Ciappelli
    Jul 20 2024
    Guest: Guy Morris, Novelist, Guy Morris Books [@guymorrisbooks]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/guybmorris/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network_____________________________Episode IntroductionWelcome to another episode of the Audio Signals Podcast! This time, we're diving into fascinating narratives and the evolving art of storytelling. I'm Marco Ciappelli, and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Guy Morris, an author and technologist whose life experiences and deep dive into AI bring a fresh perspective to storytelling.The Art of Storytelling: Guy Morris' JourneyWe kicked off the conversation by exploring Guy Morris' unique background, packed with diverse life experiences. From being a 13-year-old homeless runaway to earning multiple degrees and embarking on a career in technology, Guy's journey is nothing short of remarkable. He shared, "I started off as a 13-year-old homeless runaway... I ended up with multiple degrees, graduate scholarships... and it led me into a career of technology innovations."Balancing Creativity and TechnologyGuy talked about balancing the creative and analytical sides of his brain, a theme that resonates deeply in his novels. With meticulous research forming the backbone of his storytelling, he ensures the authenticity of the technological aspects within his narratives.The Spark of AI in StorytellingWe then shifted to one of the most exciting themes in Guy’s work: artificial intelligence. He recounted an intriguing inspiration from an Associated Press article about a program that "escaped" from Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. This spark led to years of research, culminating in a story that melds AI with geopolitical corruption and prophecy.The Complex Dance of Research and CreativityWhen asked about balancing planning and creative freedom, Guy revealed his methodical process: "I will do years of research... and then I will start writing. The first draft typically takes around six to eight weeks." This thorough preparation is what enables Guy to weave intricate, plausible scenarios in his thrillers.Prophecy Meets TechnologyA pivotal moment in our discussion was Guy’s exploration of prophecy through the lens of technology and human behavior. He built a computer model to calculate whether we are living in prophetic times, basing his analysis on environmental data and historical patterns. This insightful approach offers a fresh perspective on how technology can help interpret age-old prophecies.The Future of AI and SocietyTowards the end of the podcast, we focused on the future implications of AI. Guy offered a nuanced outlook: "AI is an amazingly powerful, flexible, agile technology that will change the world as we know it... But it's not the technology that’s evil; it's the human misuse of it." He emphasized the economic, social, and existential challenges that AI presents, stressing the need for responsible governance.ConclusionOur conversation with Guy Morris is a treasure trove of insights into how life experiences, meticulous research, and cutting-edge technology come together in the art of storytelling. If you're passionate about the intersection of technology and narrative, this episode is a must-listen.Join UsTag along for more fascinating conversations and join us on our journey of exploring the evolving realms of storytelling and technology.For more episodes, subscribe to the Audio Signals Podcast on YouTube, or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

  • Book | The Unthinkable Truth | A conversation about AI, The Future of Humanity, and Of Course About Storytelling | A Conversation With Author Dr. Yona Bouskila | Audio Signals Podcast With Marco Ciappelli
    Jul 20 2024
    Guest: Dr. Yona Bouskila, AuthorWebsite | https://www.yonabouskila.com/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network_____________________________Episode IntroductionHello everybody, welcome to another episode of the Audio Signals Podcast! This is Marco Ciappelli, and today’s episode is special for many reasons: I'm currently in Italy instead of my usual LA setup, and I'm joined by a remarkable guest, Yona Bouskila, tuning in from the UK. Together, we're diving into a topic that has been on everyone’s lips lately - Artificial Intelligence (AI), but from a unique perspective tied to Yona’s new book, "The Unthinkable Truth".Meet Yona BouskilaYona introduces himself as a trained neuroscientist with a penchant for fiction writing. His innovative approach combines these two fields, making his work particularly significant. In "The Unthinkable Truth," Yona explores the relationships between the human mind and AI, presenting thought-provoking questions that challenge conventional perspectives. Are we, humans, as different from AI as we think?The Human Mind and AI: A Deep DiveYona brings up an intriguing point: during events like the COVID-19 pandemic, people criticized leaders and each other, but not the virus itself. Similarly, we can't hold natural events responsible for their outcomes. What if humans, theoretically, are also sentient automata governed by the laws of nature just like AI? This bold hypothesis posits that our actions might not be as independent from natural laws as we believe.Simulated or Real? Exploring Human and Machine SimilaritiesMarco probes further into Yona's perspective, touching on the popular simulation theory. Yona clarifies that while his book doesn’t fully subscribe to simulation theory, it does draw parallels between human decision-making and AI behaviors. An example given is how engineers observed robots showing hesitation when faced with an ethical dilemma, similar to human actions.Fiction Meets Nonfiction: The Unique Blend in "The Unthinkable Truth"Unlike most books which fit neatly into either fiction or nonfiction, Yona's book melds the two genres. Citing examples from historical and hard science fiction, he reveals that his narrative incorporates real-world studies published in peer-reviewed journals intertwined with a thrilling fictional storyline. This unique blend is designed to be thought-provoking yet highly engaging.An Unforgettable Setting: ParisSet against the backdrop of Paris, the storyline benefits from the rich history and cultural significance of the city. Paris, noted for its pivotal role in many social and scientific revolutions, provides an apt setting for the book's exploration of advanced AI within a contemporary context closely linked to UNESCO.Balancing Optimism and Caution in AI DevelopmentThe conversation also delves into the societal implications of AI. Recognizing its immense potential in fields like medical diagnostics, Yona emphasizes the need for cautious development. He warns about the risks associated with AI surpassing human capabilities, advocating for a balanced approach to incorporating AI into daily life.The Future of Storytelling and AIWrapping up the discussion, Yona shares insights into his motivations and influences from a lifetime of reading both fiction and nonfiction. He expresses his hope that his book will contribute to the ongoing dialogue about AI and its impact on humanity. The podcast concludes with a heartfelt invitation to readers to explore and ponder the deeply intertwined future of AI and human existence.Final ThoughtsAs Yona succinctly puts it, if you're looking for a light read, "The Unthinkable Truth" may not be your choice. However, if you're keen on diving into a thought-provoking, entertaining narrative that pushes the boundaries of your understanding of AI and human nature, then this book will undoubtedly leave you pondering for days.So, keep an eye out for "The Unthinkable Truth," releasing on May 28, 2024. Whether you're an avid reader of AI discourse, a lover of thrilling narratives, or both, Yona Bouskila's latest work promises to be an enriching addition to your collection.About the BookIn the hope of distracting himself from his heartache, George Bennet, a mild-mannered professor of theoretical physics, accepts an invitation by UNESCO to join a dream team of experts assisted by a powerful AI, tasked with unravelling the enigma of the human mind.As this seemingly innocent academic investigation twists and turns, George suspects that they are being duped into aiding a sinister plan, which threatens to shatter the very ...
