As AI becomes increasingly capable of natural conversations, the boundary between humans and technology is becoming closer than ever before.

In this episode, we explore the theme: “A new form of humanity emerging through the integration of humans and technology.”

Based at OIST’s Cybernetic Humanity Studio, Dr. Kasahara explores a future where humans and technology evolve together. Through cutting-edge research on digital twins, human augmentation, and shared senses, his work raises a fascinating possibility: the future may not be about AI replacing humans, but about technology expanding human potential. Join us for a conversation about what it means to live and thrive together with technology in the age of AI.
