Ep146 "Who Counts as Human in Your Mind?" with Lasana Harris
Lasana Harris, social neuroscientist at UCL who studies mind perception and dehumanization, joins the conversation. He explains when our brains fail to see others as having minds and how that silence of social circuitry can enable harm. They explore why we sometimes treat people like objects, why we anthropomorphize AI and robots, and whether growing up with AI might change future moral intuitions.
