This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . If you want an expert on how today's AI compares to the human brain, it would be hard to beat an Oxford neuroscientist who also works at DeepMind. That describes Chris Summerfield, who runs Oxford University’s Human Information Processing lab in the Department of Experimental Psychology and author of the upcoming book, "Natural General Intelligence." In part 2, we talk about the new image generators like DALL-E-2 and how they relate to human

Artificial Intelligence and You ·

2022/07/25

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . Nobody expects... an AI podcast to veer into comedy parody. Possibly with good reason. In a show almost completely free of spam and Queen Victoria, we interpret some of today's news and themes about AI through the lens of Monty Python sketches. If you don't know what Monty Python is, this will confuse you more than a cat and make your brain hurt. If you've seen some of today's news about AI and know the airspeed of an unladen swallow, you're in

2022/06/06

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . How does AI see the world? it's easy to take for granted that an AI that is trained on labeled data to recognize certain images very well is seeing them the same way we do, but that's not so. The AI is quite alien, and helping us to see the world through its eyes is Tom White, a New Zealand-based artist. He creates physical artworks that highlight how machines “see” and thus how they think, suggesting that these systems are capable of abstraction
