    204: The Promise of A.I.

    Are humans themselves just like "little ChatGPT bots" programmed to solve problems? This perspective highlights the human drive to address challenges like diseases, climate change, and inequality, seeing AI as a potentially powerful tool.This Podcast touches upon the negative societal impacts of current algorithms, particularly those driving internet behavior.
