The Ethics of AI Assistants with Iason Gabriel
Hear from the brilliant people building the technology of the future. Learn how AI is helping people with degenerative diseases, conserving the unique wildlife of the Serengeti, and taking football to the next level.
World-class scientists and thinkers—many speaking publicly for the first time—explain the foundations of AI. They join Hannah as she explores the challenges the field wrestles with, and dives into research that’s led to breakthroughs like AlphaGo and AlphaFold.
I hope this series gives people a better understanding of artificial intelligence and a feeling for just how exhilarating an endeavour it is.
