Ep. 144: AI, Bitcoin Hard Drives, and Jim Tressel

AI, or 'artificial intelligence' has quickly come to dominate the attention of cyberspace and the tech world. But what exactly is AI in the first place, and how much of an impact is it already having in our world? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat hack their way into yet another speculative discussion, this time discussing the development and impact of AI, from it's current uses, to concepts in development, to hypothetical situations and more. The guys also deliver their usual dose of news stories this week, while also providing a quick Sumo update and wrapping up a few loose ends along the way. As AI currently held back by linear computing technology? What kind of impact could 'Quantum Computers' have on the future of artificial intelligence? Do any computers already have the ability to think on their own? Does success as a college football coach qualify someone for state-level executive leadership? For answers to these questions and a qubit or two more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
