The 9pm Kenya with a K and an AI with UNSW Scientia Professor Toby Walsh

The 9pm Edict

It's all about artificial intelligence as the spring series continues with one of the leaders in the field, Scientia Professor Toby Walsh, chief scientist at the UNSW AI Institute.
We talk about the potential for AI to become an existential threat to humanity, where you would or wouldn't want a human-shaped robot, whether AI constructs should be labelled as such, the ethics of feeding copies of books into large language models, creativity and copyright law, how to draw a platypus, and why you need a safe word to prove you're really you.
