55:07Now PlayingSome stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate.
This week, Meagan asks whether we've been asking the wrong question about simulation theory and whether AI itself is quietly taking control of the conversation, joined by Nick Bostrom, philosopher and author of the New York Times bestseller “Superintelligence,” who has spent decades studying how artificial intelligence could reshape humanity. They discuss whether AI could uplift bioterrorism and help design new pathogens, what happens to jobs and the global economy once AI and robotics take over human labor, if "digital minds" may soon outperform the human brain entirely and whether humanity still has any real control over where this is all headed. "There might be some kind of handover point where, in a sense, we are entering retirement," Bostrom says.
NewsNation`s Unreported with Meagan Medick is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don`t make the headlines. A seasoned network executive producer, Meagan brings a rare behind-the-scenes perspective to the front of the camera, taking the reins on stories she believes deserves more attention while asking questions other outlets often overlook or ridicule.
Through thoughtful conversations with creators, experts, and insiders, this show cuts through the noise to make complicated, viral, fringe or misunderstood topics actually make sense. Exploring stories ranging from government coverups to A.I. to paranormal phenomena, to explaining the origins of conspiracy theories and other enduring mysteries.
New episodes will premiere every Wednesday, offering bold perspectives on interesting stories that continue to spark widespread intrigue.
