Like it or not, artificial intelligence is deeply rooted in our lives. Its invisible architecture stretches everywhere from dating apps to medical care. In this new world, what remains uniquely human? On today’s episode, we explore the tension between our love of AI and our fear of it — and try to decode the humans behind the machines. This episode originally published in March of 2023.
Guests:
George Zarkadakis, author of In Our Own Image: Will Artificial Intelligence Save or Destroy Us?
Francis Collins, physician-geneticist who led the Human Genome Project
Stephanie Dick, assistant professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University
Meredith Broussard, data journalism professor at New York University, and author of More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender and Ability Bias in Tech
