AI Automation Explosion

A meta-roboticist, a theoretical physical inorganic chemist, and an automated science educator sit down for a podcast.... Join us today as guest host Mike Tarselli talks with Jason Hein, Joshua Schrier, and Josh Kangas  about the AI automation explosion. Where have we come from and where are we now? Where are we going and what are we doing to placate our pending robot overlords?  Let's find out together. If you want to learn more about what Mike, Jason, Joshua, and Josh work on, check out their work below! Mike Tarselli, CSO at TetraScienceMike on Google Scholar Jason Hein, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry at The University of British Columbia Jason on Google ScholarJosh Kangas, Assistant Teaching Professor, Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon UniversityJosh on Google Scholar Joshua Schrier,  Kim B. & Stephen E.
