The Centre on Knowledge Governance has launched Reality Check, a new podcast hosted by Ben Cashdan. In this first episode, Ben speaks to Professor Daniel Gervais, an advisor on artificial intelligence (AI) to several United Nations institutions and author of The Coexistence Trilogy, a series of science-fiction novels about how humans can live alongside AI.
Reality Check asks Professor Gervais these questions and more:
- Is AI like a new species that will make it impossible for human creators to compete? Or can it help solve the world’s problems?
- What tools should humans use to control AI, especially its hunger for human training data?
- Is there a difference in the approach we should take to science and research versus music and entertainment? Is AI a threat or an opportunity for journalism?
- Who owns the copyright in AI-generated works?
Watch the episode above or on YouTube, and subscribe to the Centre’s YouTube channel to catch future episodes of Reality Check.
