Janet and Mo share their thoughts on a range of topics. Janet says we need to stop hyping up the potential of AI, which is just there as a soundbite. Mo: "I think it's really important that we start talking about these things in a way that's slightly less hyped up" The pair also recommend reading Patrick Alley's new book Very Bad People.
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!
