This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .

 

Kakia Chatsiou can tell you what a politician is really saying. Of course, most of us would say that the politician isn’t saying anything at all, but she’s more precise about it, and she uses AI to do it. She’s a professor at the University of Suffolk in the United Kingdom and this work shows up in her research paper Deep Learning for Political Science. She's an expert in natural language processing. We talk about how she analyzes the text of government COVID announcements to extract meaning, application to related fields such as ethics, and what it's like to be in this field.

All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines.
