Alex Tsakiris is the founder and host of the popular podcast Skeptiko, which has garnered millions of downloads over the years as it explores the intersection of science and spirituality. A published author, entrepreneur, and critical thinker, Alex has become a prominent voice in the debate surrounding the nature of consciousness and its connection to the physical world. In 1986, he founded MindPath Technologies, a pioneering company that developed AI expert systems for major corporations like Texas Instruments, DuPont, and Standard Oil, before it was acquired by Proxima Corporation in 1996.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • Alex Tsakiris’s journey from AI entrepreneur to host of the Skeptiko podcast, exploring the intersection of science and spirituality.
  • The impact of AI on the concept of consciousness and how it challenges traditional scientific paradigms.
  • The influence of Alan Turing's work on AI consciousness and how it shapes today’s discussions on human-machine interactions.
  • Why Alex questions AI dogma and how his background in expert systems influences his perspective.
  • The role of transparency versus truth in AI development and how it shapes ethical considerations.
  • Real-world AI applications that focus on enhancing human well-being and reducing workplace friction.
