About This Podcast
Hybrid Society is a provocative podcast exploring the uneasy co‑evolution of humans and artificial intelligence.
Hosted by Joshiya Mitsunaga, with co‑hosts Prof. Catholijn Jonker (Professor of Interactive Intelligence at TU Delft) and Prof. Frank van Harmelen (Full Professor of Knowledge Representation & Reasoning, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), each episode unpacks the political, ethical, and philosophical tensions at the heart of smart technology.
From algorithmic injustice to value misalignment, we confront the hard questions Silicon Valley would rather you didn’t ask.
