Description

I love learning about new tech and how it can enhance our lives! But perhaps we are beginning to place too much confidence and reliance on things like AI and algorithms.

 

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Robert Elliott Smith, author of the book, Rage Inside the Machine: The Prejudice of Algorithms, and How to Stop the Internet Making Bigots of Us All.

 

Tune in to learn…

-About the role algorithms play in the divisiveness of social media;

-How algorithms may be more entrenched in your life than you realize;

-If algorithms are prejudiced;

-Why we are seeing increasing incidences of machine bigotry, greed, segregation and mass coercion;

-If we can replicate human intelligence with artificial intelligence;

-& so much more!
