Teaching AI to Forget

Wild Ducks

In this bonus episode, host Jerry Cuomo explores the intriguing concept of "Training AI to Forget." Joined by 'guest' Dr. Eva Rosenberg, a fictional memory psychologist portrayed using voice synthesis tech, they discuss the intersection of neuroscience, ethics, and computer science in AI. Jerry shares insights from his recent article and introduces "The Neuralyzer," a code experiment that enables AI systems to forget specific terms or data, aligning with governance and ethical considerations like GDPR.

In a surprising twist, Jerry reveals that the role of Dr. Eva Rosenberg was performed by him using technology from Respeecher, an AI startup known for voice synthesis. The episode explores how Respeecher responsibly navigates the ethical landscape of synthetic voices.

This episode serves as a thought-provoking journey into the future of trustworthy AI, examining both the technological and ethical dimensions. Listen now to get inspired and educated about the next frontier in AI governance.
