AI: The Human Interface

In a year when everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, we need to talk about the human kind. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be conscious of your existence, your thoughts, your dreams? As machines develop, what might be left that is uniquely human? Our pursuit of pleasure and its rewards? Our ability to love?  AI expert Toby Walsh and evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks join journalist Rae Johnston to tackle the fundamental questions we should be asking amid the advent of super intelligent machines. This is the second episode of a five-part season which showcases recent events from the Sydney Opera House, and was recorded live in October 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
