Looking for something to listen to on your commute? Here are three podcasts that can help you learn more about generative AI and the impact of technology on the world around us.
- Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000
- "Artificial Intelligence has too much hype. In this stream, linguist Prof. Emily M. Bender and sociologist Dr. Alex Hanna break down the AI hype, separate fact from fiction, and science from bloviation. They're joined by special guests and talk about everything, from machine consciousness to science fiction, to political economy to art made by machines." Available wherever you get your podcasts.
- In Machines We Trust
- "The award-winning podcast In Machines We Trust thoughtfully examines the far-reaching impact of artificial intelligence on our daily lives. Hosted by Jennifer Strong, the series explores the rise of AI through the voices of people reckoning with the power of the technology, and by taking listeners up close with the inventors and founders whose ambitions are fueling the development of new forms of AI, with far-reaching implications we’re only just beginning to understand." Available wherever you get your podcasts.
- Tech Won't Save Us
- Covering more than just generative AI, host Paris Marx "speaks to a new expert [every Thursday] to dissect the tech industry, the powerful people at its helm, and the products and services it unleashes on the world. They challenge the notion that tech alone can drive our world forward by showing that separating tech from politics has consequences for everyone, especially the most vulnerable."
