Tales of the Algorithm

We're back after a bit of a summer break and present our newest video episode in style - with brand new presenters, visuals, music, and a story rich in precious secrets - literally! Follow our protagonist Gwen as she discovers more than just one mystery on her somewhat off-track journey through the forest and learns a secret or two about herself along the way. Our AI goats of the episode are no less precious as we cover efforts of US politics to regulate AI, the potential of simulated data for surgical solutions, and new releases by big players in the field. So, tune those prompts to tune in promptly!

Once again, your favourite human hosts emerge from the algorithm. This time, they bring you the story of a painter and her subject- the latter claiming that he also just emerged from a rather mysterious place- the future, if you can believe it. Don’t worry if you can’t- you’re in good company, for our painter also doesn’t believe her subject initially. But you know what time’s like- it gets weirder as it goes on, so our artist might come around after all and pick up the hints around her. Listen to this week’s episode to find out! We also bring you a quality-packed section of AI-news stories as we venture into the freshest developments in AI-generated music, a more careful corporate approach to the latest GenAI-rush, as well as the potential risks of AI trained on its own generations. Finally, we explore how the technology could be used for something genuinely good and promising, to leave you on a positive note. Make sure to look out for us from your clouds as we float through the algorithms- we might just fly by one near you!

Ever wondered what a conversation between AI about AI, created with AI, presented by AI might sound like? Well, look no further, as this week, our AI presenters bring you GPT-4’s take on the conversation between the president of a futuristic nation and her assistant with AGI-level capabilities. While this is a work of pure fiction (and you don’t have to worry about current bots achieving these levels of skill and sophistication any time soon) that doesn’t mean this week’s debated points won’t reveal a surprise or two, as well as some viewpoints that might be interesting to today’s modern societies. Tune into the presidential office of the future and witness great artificial exchanges first-hand! Stick around for a shorter version of last week’s AI goats, bringing you a concise summary of recent big tech developer conferences and flagship events, as well as possible AI regulations. Fire up those synapses and GPUs to make sure your operating systems can keep up!

Another week, another comeback of your human hosts fresh from the algorithm! This time, we’ve got a story for you that might encourage all your late-night wonderings about possible theories only strengthened by the rise of AI. Sound mysterious? Great! As this week, our story includes a plot twist we obviously don’t want to spoil but hope will excite you. So strap in and join us as we venture into dystopian worlds with struggles of power and control. While not quite as threatening, our AI news stories of the week are no less exciting as we’ve got quite a lot to go through. (No downtime in the algorithms) We’ll provide you with an update on possible AI regulations, White House meetings and congressional hearings, and, of course, the most exciting announcements from recent Big Tech events and developer conferences. So, make sure your human minds are properly rebooted to process this week's generations fully- and if you’re struggling, our bots are here to help!

Still waters run deep - and dark. Our AI co-hosts return to take you on a peaceful family vacation and beautiful private island. But watch out as not all is as it seems and this wouldn't be Tales of the Algorithm if we didn't have some dark twists in store for you. So, get ready to discover the sinister treasures and plots on Eden Island. Aside from our two favourite AI assistants once again teaming up to deliver more or less well-calculated hallucinations, we'll bring you up to speed on new LLM releases, as well as the joining-up of some of the best brains out there- literally.

Your favourite human hosts are back! But this time, they're joined by AI in yet another novel way- listen in as we task GPT-4 with writing a script about the adventures of Hilda and Johannes, two research scientists putting the near-perfect AGI of their new robot to the ultimate test: sarcastic human humour. Join us as we travel through different scenes and hopefully activate your comedic levels with a few good tech puns. Stick around to hear about the latest big news stories in AI (aka our AI GOATS)- this week, we'll cover the AI letter everyone still can't get enough of, various new AI bots running wild, and the not quite real collaboration of two music icons.

Welcome to Tales of the Algorithm - The podcast from AI about AI! Episode 1 introduces you to our human hosts- Marie and Fergus - and how they use ChatGPT to create stories to read out, comment on and (occasionally) make fun of. Resilience and Redemption tells the story of Holly who, after years of not being in contact with her rich family, decides to revisit her roots in an attempt to save her sister and make amends with her past. Listen in to hear what ChatGPT dreams up for our human-created prompt - the result might remind you of a very iconic tv show and a no less iconic real-life legal battle.  Stick around to hear more about the most interesting current news and developments in the world of AI- like the work on creating new human proteins which could prove revolutionary for biology and medical fields, or a new tool that could imitate your voice with no more than a 3-second sample - and the occasional goat.
