On this week's podcast:
"Dystopian artificial intelligence is not near, it is already here.
"In November 2022, the release of an artificial intelligence on-line chatting programme, named ChatGPT, shocked the world."
In 2014 Elon Musk warned that with AI "we are summoning the demon".
Expat Kiwi Jonathan Robinson, PHD, has been at the coal face of AI and ML for many years. We talk with him about the relevance of AI.
We also discuss education, and the ETS.
And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
