Ep 294 AI and Society with Evan Henshaw Plath

RevolutionZ

Ep 294 of RevolutionZ has for a return engagement as guest Evan Henshaw Plath, popularly known as Rabble. We talk about AI and society, first describing where we are now and how we got here, and then likely impacts on various sectors, from software development to music, and video generation. What is the role of training data? How intelligent can AI get? Will it attain AGI? Is there an existential threat? What are the more immediate social and ethical risks and rewards? What are AI researchers like? As a community, do they have cultural connections or even share a quasi religious culture? Do they have in mind more humane and equitable societies? Or is profit in command? Will AI be a tool that enhances life possibilities for people, or will people be infantilized by AI doing too much of what humans ought to do? Can the public impact the outcome?
