AI vs Humanity: We Are in the Biggest Mental Health Crisis in History | Krista Kim
Welcome to another Edge of Show episode. Today we have a very special throwback edition of our Edge of AI Podcast! In this episode, host Ron Levy sits down with renowned digital artist and global cultural leader Krista Kim to explore the intersection of human consciousness, meditative digital art, and individual data rights in a post-AI world.
In this episode they both have a conversation on how technology has quietly replaced religion, philosophy, and art as the true driver of human culture. We’ve traded raw human contemplation for addictive apps engineered to harvest our attention like a product, triggering what is arguably the heaviest mental health crisis in our history.
Krista also maps out exactly how we can push back through absolute data sovereignty. Discover her vision for carrying the ancient spiritual traditions of Zen monks into the 21st century, bypassing the giant corporate "Borg" with private, offline LLM guardians and mapping unhackable digital spaces directly to the unique rhythm of the human heartbeat.
