Episode notes

The latest artificial intelligence project from i b m. Debater project debater, a computer wires, ones and zeros that could apparently debate a person live on any topic with just a few minutes breptime. The clip you just heard, that is from another podcast called opiniond science. It's really mind bending, and i love it.

This episode, featuring Andy Luttrell of the Opinion Science Podcast, is all about a machine, built by IBM, that can debate human beings on any issue, which leads to the question: is persuasion, with language, using arguments, and the ability to alter another person’s attitudes, beliefs, values, opinions, and behavior a uniquely human phenomenon, or could you be persuaded to change your mind by an artificial intelligence designed to do just that? If so, what does that say about opinions, our arguments, and in the end, our minds?
