Listen "The truth about AI and productivity"
Episode Synopsis
How real is the link between Artificial Intelligence and increased productivity? Jon Whittle from the CSIRO, one of Australia's leading science agencies, has been examining the latest research. He helps us sort facts from fiction. Also, literacy and problem-solving skills have taken a dive in many developed countries — could an over-reliance on technology be part of the problem? And why understanding the literary style "Magic Realism" could help in developing better regulation for AI.GuestsJovan Kurbalija — Executive Director, Diplo FoundationProfessor Jon Whittle — Data61 Director, CSIROAndreas Schleicher — Director for Education and Skills, OECD
