A new blog from Andrew Maynard: The Future of Being Human
Hi all
This is a really quick update to let you know that I've finally cracked and have started writing on the platform Substack -- and I'd love to have you subscribe to my posts there if you're interested in keeping up with my writing and thinking on tech innovation and the future.
I'll still be sending out occasional updates here, but the Future of Being Human blog on Substack is where I'll be doing much of my thought-doodling around where advanced tech is taking us -- and especially how this potentially impacts what it means to be human.
For more information, check out the welcome post here. And if you're interested in the current hand-wringing around the existential risks of ChatGPT and other large language models, some thoughts here.
I hope to see you there -- I'm excited to be getting back to something more akin to blogging after many years flitting between different platforms.
Cheers
Andrew

It's been a while since I last sent an update out, so I though one was probably due -- especially as there are a couple of things going on that I suspect many of you will be interested in. Riding the AI Wave First off, as I mentioned back in May, I'm currently focusing a lot of my writing on Substack, and would love to have you join me there (all my articles are open access, but by subscribing you get regular updates via email). Much of my writing recently has been focused on AI -- not just...
It's hard to believe that we have already reached the end of the academic year here at ASU and are heading into the summer. As we do, I thought it worth sending out a quick update before I do that annoying thing that academics tend to do in the summer and disappear off for several weeks! As I mentioned in my last update, I'm focusing much of my writing and thinking on The Future of being Human on Substack -- if you are OK with regular articles arriving in your email in-box please do feel free...
Good morning/afternoon/evening, and a belated Happy 2023! When I sent my last update I was about to head down to Antarctica to co-lead a quite unique study abroad with my colleague Nicole Mayberry. As a number of people have been asking about this, I thought I'd focus on the highlights here -- and especially the value of such an experience to our students. Plus, some more on ChatGPT, and an update on what's happing with the ASU Future of being Human initiative. Enjoy! Andrew Antarctica...
