Pandaemonium Architecture 6.0

In this course

Tegmark frames the contemporary moment of AI development through his concept of "Life 3.0," positioning artificial intelligence as a fundamental evolutionary phase where digital systems merge with biological and physical reality. The course readings invoke this framework to situate current AI discourse within narratives of technological inevitability and existential stakes, though the excerpts suggest critical distance from how such framings can obscure present-day harms by focusing attention on speculative future scenarios.
