Show Notes
Jon Whittle busts the Hollywood sci-fi myth that artificial intelligence is out to replace humans. We learn the history of AI from WW2 code-breaking machines to computer chess players that beat world champions, and hear how artificial intelligence is already very much a part of our daily lives. Jon and our experts break down the difference between data-driven AI and deep learning, and tell us whether AI will ever be able to fall in love.
Everyday AI is a CSIRO podcast. This episode features Toby Walsh, a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence, and Alison Gopnik, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley.
