Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence tool that can answer questions and create content. John Sutter says he's under the impression it will be very powerful in medicine, especially for people whose native language is not English. He thinks more specialized training on a lot of databases could make it better yet.
Economist Tyler Cowen of George Mason University talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. Cowen argues that the worriers--those who think that artificial intelligence will destroy mankind--need to make a more convincing case for their concerns. He also believes that the worriers are too willing to reduce freedom and empower the state in the name of reducing a risk that is far from certain. Along the way, Cowen and Roberts discuss how AI might change various parts of the economy and the job market.
