Could AI really achieve consciousness? w/ neuroscientist Anil Seth

mardi 10 décembre 2024 • Duration 56:51

Human brains are often described as computers — machines that are “wired” to make decisions and respond to external stimuli in a way that’s not so different from the artificial intelligence that we increasingly use each day. But the difference between our brains and the computers that drive AI is consciousness – our inner world, defined by experience and awareness. Anil Seth is a professor of cognitive and computational neuroscience at the University of Oxford. He studies human consciousness and he’s concerned about the way we’ve come to think about AI as conscious minds rather than useful tools. Anil and Bilawal sit down to discuss the differences between intelligence and consciousness, the possibility of AI becoming self-aware, and the dangers of assigning human-like traits to our AI assistants.

How AI robots learn just like babies — but a million times faster w/ NVIDIA’s Rev Lebaredian

mardi 3 décembre 2024 • Duration 53:27

Computers have been outperforming humans for years on tasks like solving complex equations or analyzing data, but when it comes to the physical world, robots struggle to keep up. It can take years to train robots to function in the messy chaos of the “real world” — but thanks to some unlikely help from the film and video gaming industry, robots today are using AI to fast-track their learning and master new skills using simulated environments. Rev Lebaredian is the vice president of Omniverse and simulation technology at NVIDIA, a company known for its work on advancements in AI, video game graphics cards, accelerated computing and computer graphics. Rev and Bilawal discuss how simulated “mirror worlds” can help robots learn faster, the trillion-dollar market for physical AI, and the future of AI robot assistance in our everyday lives.

How AI will transform dubbing in Hollywood w/ Scott Mann

mardi 1 octobre 2024 • Duration 40:44

If you've ever cringed at a poorly-dubbed film, you are not alone. That's why Scott Mann founded Flawless, a company that’s transforming the world of dubbing using AI. He talks with Bilawal about why good dubbing is essential for movie making and shares the mind-blowing technology that not only lets Robert DeNiro speak perfect Spanish, but radically changes how films might get made. The two also discuss what to keep in mind as creativity, industry, and AI technology continue to intertwine — and what we need to protect artists' rights.

Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech (from TED Talks Daily)

mardi 24 septembre 2024 • Duration 13:51

Today's episode is from another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, TED Talks Daily. If you missed our newest episode, you can listen to it HERE. The TED AI Show will be back with new episodes soon!

You've heard Nita Farahany on this show before (and if you haven't, check the episode out HERE). Nita's the neurotech and AI ethicist who is calling for the legal recognition of our "cognitive liberty." In her TED Talk, Nita shares examples of how neurotechnology can let you track your own brain activity and help you deeply understand your health -- but why without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions and desires could be at risk of exploitation. Nita details some of the field's promising potential uses -- like tracking and treating diseases from depression to epilepsy -- and shares concerns about who collects our brain data and how they plan to use it, ultimately calling for widespread recognition of cognitive liberty as we connect our brains and minds to technology.

The UN is speaking up about AI — here’s what they’re saying (w/ Ian Bremmer)

jeudi 19 septembre 2024 • Duration 53:56

AI is shaping every aspect of our lives — but only a handful of tech giants are having a say in what this technology can do. So what’s going on with world governments? Bilawal sits down with geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer to unpack the UN’s just-released plan for “Governing AI for Humanity,” a report that focuses on the urgent need to guide AI towards helping everyone – rather than the powerful few – thrive. Together, they explore the complexities of  AI’s rapid growth on a worldwide scale and take a clear-eyed look at the pivotal decisions facing us in the very near future.

Humanity’s first AI election w/ WIRED's Vittoria Elliott

mardi 17 septembre 2024 • Duration 38:32

2024 is the biggest election year in modern history, with over 50 countries going out to the polls across the globe. And artificial intelligence has fully seeped into global politics – from deepfakes to AI bots that can ingest thousands and thousands of documents to make policy decisions. Bilawal talks with journalist Vittoria Elliot, who’s been leading on WIRED’s AI Elections Projects, to discuss how AI is reshaping the political landscape in surprising ways. The two explore the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre – and share what the U.S. can learn from other countries to adapt and critically engage with "the new normal."

Can AI read your mind? The battle for your brain w/ Nita Farahany

mardi 10 septembre 2024 • Duration 35:22

Imagine a world where your thoughts are no longer private – where employers, friends, and even companies can see, hack, or exploit your thinking. According to ethicist Nita Farahany, that reality is closer than you think. Nita and Bilawal discuss the rapidly advancing field of neurotechnology and its potential to completely transform our everyday lives, from tools that could help you deeply understand your health to tech that could manipulate your dreams. Nita also shares why we need to protect our "cognitive liberty" and how to exercise our rights to think freely in an age of mind-reading technology.

Can AI predict (and control) the weather? w/ Dion Harris and Tapio Schneider

mardi 3 septembre 2024 • Duration 36:49

Cutting-edge technology and vast amounts of data are revolutionizing climate modeling with unprecedented accuracy. So could AI be the crystal ball we need to predict — and even control — Earth's climate? Bilawal sits with Dion Harris, the head of data center product marketing at NVIDIA, and climate physicist Tapio Schneider to discuss how technology could reshape our approach to climate change and influence global decision-making. The three also dive into how AI could help us make hyper-local climate predictions — and debate the ethical dilemmas of geoengineering.

Sal Khan says AI won’t destroy education — but there’s a catch

mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 36:05

Cheating has never been easier with the rise of AI like ChatGPT. It's definitely something to worry about, but what do we know about the upsides of AI in education? Khan Academy founder Sal Khan says education won't destroy our kids' brains, but we have to integrate AI the right way. After launching a new chatbot, Khanmigo, Sal has found that AI opens up opportunities for students to learn in ways they couldn't before, leaving room for more creativity, deeper thinking and gained perspective. Sam and Bilawal discuss why AI seeping into the classroom is inevitable — and how to use it to our advantage.
