Description
AI is amazing… or terrifying, depending on who you ask. This is a technology that elicits strong, almost existential reactions. So, as a Memorial Day special, we're running an episode of Recode Media with Peter Kafka that digs into the giant ambitions and enormous concerns people have about the very same tech.
Featuring: New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose (@kevinroose), who tells host Peter why his viral conversation with Bing’s AI chatbot changed the way he thought about the new tech.
Then: Google has everything to lose here, so Peter speaks with James Manyika, Google’s Senior Vice President of Technology and Society, about the company’s ambitions for AI. [9:23]
Plus: Professor Emily M. Bender (@emilymbender), one of the people behind a now-famous paper on AI’s limits. Her “stochastic parrot” seems to have hit a nerve with some of AI’s biggest proponents. So maybe she’s onto something. [29:30]
