Episode notes

I think that just actually just getting your feet wet and sort of playing with these things directly is really important splash in puddles a little bit play and maybe even make some ridiculous applications with these things. The tools are out there for us to sort of start you know I don't know that you build products on these but it's a useful sandbox to start to play in and and get familiar with. How do we use our skills that we are really great at to to solve new problems using machine learning? And how can they help amplify the real talents of the radiologist which are not just sort of looking at image after image after image in terms of cancer research, 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.

If today was your last day, what would be your final plea to designers and developers building the future of AI? (105:03)
