What you should know about machine learning w/ Ben Byford and Alice Fraser

Machine learning and artificial intelligence already play a huge role in our life.  From trivial things like what movies and songs are recommended to us, to important things like politics (or vice versa depending on your perspective) machines are shaping what we discover and how and that's only set to grow. So who decides how this happens? Should we be concerned and how do we make sure the impacts of these machines is monitored to prevent harmful impacts? Or, do we just welcome our new robot overlords?

On this episode of the podcast, the brilliantly funny and incredibly intelligent Alice Fraser, and Ben Byford, a machine ethics pundit with a wealth of first hand experience, join me  to look at all the above and more.
