How AI Could Actually Make the World Better
Notas del episodio
Josh Tyrangiel is the author of “AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter.” On today’s show, Josh talks about some of these real people and the problems they’re working on: a professor trying to understand her nonverbal son, a general who delivered millions of Covid vaccines in 2021, and a hospital CEO trying to reduce the rate of deadly infections.
In this episode, Josh explains:
- Where AI is helping to reduce hospital infections (and where it’s struggling)
- Why distributing the Covid vaccine was almost as hard as creating it
- Why convincing people to use AI is often the hardest problem to solve
- Why we should use nuclear weapons as a model for regulating AI
