Listen "The AI Argument - S1E29 - We all need a break, even the robots!"
Episode Synopsis
Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) just around the corner, or is it still a ways off? While Gianluca Mauro argues we’re not close, Demis Hassabis is more optimistic, the reality is that even the top minds in AI can’t seem to agree on what’s coming next. Frank and Justin also break down Elon Musk’s latest promises—$30,000 robots and self-driving cars—questioning whether we’re any closer to these breakthroughs than we were when Musk first promised self-driving cars in 2014.Geoffrey Hinton adds an interesting twist with his career advice for young people: become a plumber! Frank and Justin also explore the rise of AI-generated fake news on social media, particularly the flood of fake disaster images, and whether or not robots in Germany deserve a day of rest—yes, even robots are facing regulations.
