Episode notes

Hollywood's pretty good at capturing kind of the imaginations and where humanity is at with you know morality and things like that so Westworld iRobot Terminator Black Mirror X Machina. In your Adobe XD interview which Adobe's actually sponsoring this episode thanks Adobe you address these common fears that that many of us have about AI. I think we are in a phase of sort of dystopian storytelling in a way to counter a little bit of the exuberant optimism that comes out of Silicon Valley, he says.

Josh Clark enlightens us to everything we need to know about the current state of UX in AI. He takes us on an unsettling stroll through uncanny valley. He encourages us to let machines do what they're really good at, and humans do what they're really good at. He guides us into how to begin getting our hands dirty with AI/Machine-Learning. He also articulates how our software/machines are embedded with values, and inspires us (for future's sake) to be intentional about the kinds of values we embed into them.
