The AI Argument - S1E2 - Frank goes Nuclear!!!
from The AI Argument Hosted by Frank Prendergast and Justin Collery
Most people freaked out when LinkedIn quietly opted everyone into using their personal data for AI training. While Frank thinks it’s a violation of privacy, Justin argues that LinkedIn is a public platform, and anyone can scrape your data, regardless of privacy settings. The two debate whether it’s even possible to control how your online information gets used. Meanwhile, nuclear power plants are being restarted to fuel AI’s massive energy demands. Microsoft has signed a deal to power its data centres with nuclear energy, reigniting a global debate about the role of nuclear power. Justin largely agrees with an open letter from tech companies that accuses the EU of hampering innovation and progress with inconsistent and fragmented regulation, and Frank tries yet another instant voice cloning tool to see if it can handle his Irish accent. For anyone interested in AI’s intersection with privacy, energy, and global regulation, this conversation offers a mix of humour and hard-hitting questions about the future of AI.
