Timothy Stanley: We need to understand the power of generative AI. He says it's so pervasive in our everyday lives that school children now need to be aware and they need to stop building those philosophical and discernment skills. But furthermore than that, he adds, people who are currently in business and governments making decisions also need to understand this at a better level rather than all the hype. 'I'm really pleased to see that worldwide governments seem to be engaging and getting experts on board'

To trust something, you need to understand it. And, to understand something, someone often has to explain it. When it comes to AI, explainability can be a real challenge (definitionally, a "black box" is unexplainable)! With AI getting new levels of press and prominence thanks to the explosion of generative AI platforms, the need for explainability continues to grow. But, it's just as important in more conventional situations. Dr. Janet Bastiman, the Chief Data Scientist at Napier, joined Moe and Tim to, well, explain the topic!
