## Resource

Is AI really getting smarter than us or are we falling for the biggest myth in tech? AI is transforming the way we work, think and create. As machines begin outperforming humans in more tasks, the race to AGI and even superintelligence is often treated as inevitable. But is it? Or are we buying into Silicon Valley's biggest story? This week on The Tea, we are joined by one of Britain's sharpest voices on the human impact of technology, Anne-Marie Imafidon CEO of Stemettes and trustee at the Institute for the Future of Work to unpack what AI is really changing, why intelligence is far more complex than Silicon Valley admits, and what it means to remain human in an age racing towards artificial superintelligence. Also on the show: ⚡ AGI & the Silicon Valley narrative – AI hype or the next reality? ⚡ What human intelligence really is ⚡ AI and the future of work ⚡ Can AI agents ever become conscious? ⚡ The race to superintelligence – Who benefits? ⚡ What it means to be human in the age of AI Despite the apocalyptic headlines, our guest argues that a dystopian future isn't preordained. AI remains a human technology, shaped by human choices. As she puts it: "Technology is that it is still democratic... You don't have to be funded by the big whoever to build alternatives." 👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AnneMarieImafidon #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AGI #FutureOfWork #Technology #OpenAI #HumanIntelligence #CurrentAffairs #news AUDIO CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam François Guest: Anne-Marie Imafidon Senior Producer: Sara Farolfi Producer: Nadège Bizimungu Assistant Producer: Poppy Jacobs Research: Constance Creswell Video Editor: Max Bubnov An MPWR Productions show.
