”Is AI Bias an Existential Crisis?” (w/ guest Jacob Ward) (PART ONE)

Andy & Brendan are joined by their first guest, Jacob Ward*!

This week, they discuss the existential dangers of AI bias - on cognitive processing, on outsourcing of evaluation, on fight or flight And shaping the very grounds of understanding and meaning the human family has relied on since time immemorial!

Will it the be the end of us all? The liberation of us all? The subjugation of us all? Or something else altogether?

WHAT DO YOU think?
