Deciphering AI; Debunking Snake Oil and Finding the Truth with Sayash Kapoor
Manage episode 487039074 series 1319878
There are many misconceptions and overblown promises when it comes to AI. The reality is that Artificial Intelligence is a useful tool that’s here to stay. When it’s done right, AI seamlessly becomes part of our everyday life systems but when poorly programmed or intentionally misused by human intelligence, it easily becomes the ‘snake oil’ of our time. How do we decipher fact from fiction when it comes to AI and how do we protect children from possible long-term adverse impacts?
To glean strategies for reducing unknown or harmful influences of AI, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a Senior Fellow at Mozilla, Sayash Kapoor.
Sayash draws on his book, AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference, to guide us in critically evaluating AI claims and understanding its true capabilities and limitations. He offers insights about how to be practically skeptical in an AI-driven world and uncover the truth behind the hype.
