Artificial Intelligence and You

On our last show of 2021, it's time to think about the year ahead, and for that I have a panel of amazing experts!

• Richard Foster-Fletcher, founder of MKAI, the inclusive Artificial Intelligence Community, advisor to the United Nations Environmental Programme and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change;
• Ben Goertzel, chief scientist of Hanson Robotics and author of Ten Years To the Singularity If We Really Really Try;
• Katie King, speaker and marketing consultant, and author of the 2022 book AI Strategy for Sales and Marketing: Connecting Marketing, Sales and Customer Experience ;
• Prashant Natarajan, VP of Strategy & Products at H2O.ai and author of Demystifying AI for the Enterprise.

It's a free-ranging, free-spirited, free-for-all as we talk about the past and future trajectory of COVID effects on technology adoption, the evolution of attitudes towards, and equality in, AI, changes in the environmental impact of AI, and more. This is high quality thinking from people at the coal face of the industry, giving you their best shots at information you can use for the year ahead. Happy New Year!

How could you know which countries are doing a good job with artificial intelligence, and which sites are the worst disinformation spreaders? Sounds incredibly useful but impossible to figure out, right?

As Director of the Tortoise Intelligence team, her insights into geopolitical and industry conflicts and state of the art are highly prized by governments and multinationals.

In part 2, we talk about China's race for AI gold, and the global disinformation index.
