Episode 52
Is Alexa or Siri really listening...and if so, what are they doing with all of that data? Has AI already become sentient...and if not, when will it emerge? What does it even mean for a machine to establish self-awareness and what is it going to take for the "singularity" to occur? Join Jeff and Mark as we work through Mo Gawdat's book - Scary Smart - and other recent articles on AI. We'll dive into the emergence of self-aware machines and how AI can go from helping you find good cat videos on YouTube to launching Skynet and the Terminator! Tune in, pause and learn more about why we're all doomed!
