In Machines We Trust: Concerning AI ethics

Season 4 · Episode 36

Wednesday, April 12, 2023 • Duration 21:21

The best definitions of AI are vague, largely lack consensus and represent a huge challenge for lawmakers and legal scholars looking to regulate it.

In Machines We Trust: The AI of the beholder

Season 4 · Episode 32

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 • Duration 22:24

Computers are ranking the way people look—and the results are influencing the things we do, the posts we see, and the way we think. Ideas about what constitutes “beauty” are complex, subjective, and by no means limited to physical appearances. Elusive though it is, everyone wants more of it. That means big business and increasingly, people harnessing algorithms to create their ideal selves in the digital and, sometimes, physical worlds. In this episode, we explore the popularity of beauty filters, and sit down with someone who’s convinced his software will show you just how to nip and tuck your way to a better life.
