Published Aug 30, 2022, 10:30 AM

The world’s first autonomous vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean is signaling a new era in maritime technology.

In this episode of Smart Talks with IBM, Malcolm Gladwell takes on this topic with Lauren Ober, host of The Loudest Girl in the World, and guests Brett Phaneuf and Don Scott, the engineers behind the Mayflower Autonomous Ship project. The two explain how automation and AI allowed them to reimagine the design and use of a ship at sea and their implications beyond maritime navigation.
