Description

Tanuj believes the AI hype train has gone too far. But is he being too short-sighted? Can AI really replace humans en masse? And what do terms like 'intelligent' and 'conscious' actually mean?

Tanuj is the head of People+AI, an AI initiative under the EkStep Foundation. He works on policy issues related to AI, digital identity, payments, data protection, and drones. In a previous life, he was a venture capitalist and an entrepreneur.
