What if technology could not only model our world, but also help alleviate human suffering in the process?
In this episode, Josh Cary sits down with Chris Jones, the visionary founder and CEO of SwiftSight, whose mission is nothing short of elevating humanity. Chris is building “Aura,” an AI-powered system that fuses advanced 5D modeling, real-time data, and multidisciplinary science to create what he calls a Theory of Everything AI.
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s a bold, deeply human, and technically fascinating journey into the future of technology, consciousness, and impact. Whether you’re into AI, philosophy, filmmaking, or human evolution, this episode will expand your thinking on what’s possible and why we need to keep the pursuit of knowledge safe, ethical, and purposeful.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
The Origin Story Behind Aura – How Chris turned backyard experiments and a background in cinematography into a pioneering AI platform with the ability to model reality at 30 frames per second.
What 5D Modeling Really Means – Understand how real-time 3D, 4D, and 5D modeling works, and what it unlocks for industries ranging from entertainment to aerospace to public safety.
Building a Theory of Everything AI – Why Chris is combining physics, philosophy, consciousness, chemistry, and material science to build a modular system that can eventually model everything from subatomic particles to entire galaxies.
The Real-World Impact – From disaster prevention and occupational safety to immersive education and even asteroid mining, Chris explains how this tech could reduce harm, drive efficiency, and improve quality of life.
AI Ethics and Existential Risk – A candid conversation about the dangers of unchecked AI advancement, the need for public benefit corporations, and why SwiftSight refuses to work with defense contractors.
Visual Learning and the Power of Immersion – Discover how volumetric video capture and immersive modeling can revolutionize not just filmmaking, but also how we teach, learn, and understand our world.
