About this listen

We asked for answers. We forgot the cost. At first, artificial intelligence was a helper—faster searches, smarter recommendations, easier choices. Then it became a habit. And habits become systems. Now we ask AI everything: what to buy, what to believe, how to live, and who to love. Every question we ask hands over another piece of ourselves—our intuition, our privacy, our freedom to doubt. AI FIRST, Sébastien Studer explores the quiet revolution transforming humanity from within.

Through a blend of philosophy, psychology, and haunting prose, he reveals how the machines we built to serve us have become mirrors—reflecting not our intelligence, but our nature. From governments that consult algorithms before declaring war, to individuals who seek AI’s validation before making life choices, examines how logic replaced instinct, and certainty replaced curiosity. The danger isn’t rebellion. It’s obedience. This is not a story about machines taking power. It’s a story about humans giving it away.

Highlights: A visionary exploration of how data has replaced doubt. A haunting meditation on trust, control, and what it means to stay human.

Written in a cinematic, minimalist style—perfect for fans of Sapiens, Homo Deus, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. AI never needed to conquer us. It just waited for us to stop thinking.
