Teresa Heffernan joins host Melissa Gismondi for a conversation about artificial intelligence (AI). They discuss topics like the public's perception of AI, as well as AI's limitations, environmental impact, and its relationship with fiction. They also touch on the narratives and hype surrounding AI, the concentration of wealth and power in the tech industry, and the need for regulation and ethical considerations in AI development.
