In this episode of "Technically Human," I speak to Professor De Kai at Hong Kong University. De Kai is one of eight members of Google's AI Ethics Council and is listed as one of Hong Kong's 100 most influential figures. We debate whether laptops and lapdogs have souls, De Kai tells us why President Obama is retweeting his recent work on mask simulations in the context of the coronavirus epidemic, and we discuss the possibility that an AI encoded with human biases will drive extremism to the point of civilization's collapse.
