Episode notes

Artificial intelligence seems to be getting less and less artificial. One sense is that it's time to think more deeply about AI. Today, we're sharing an excerpt from a forum at Iowa State University. In this 23-minute clip, they ask big questions like what is the difference between man and machine?

A.I. is no longer the stuff of science fiction. From Siri and Alexa to Chat GPT, our world is now inundated with artificial intelligence. One senses that it’s time to think more deeply about A.I. — its implications and its assumptions.

In this episode, you'll hear an excerpt from a Forum event at Iowa State University from March 2023. Josh Swamidass (WashU), a medical doctor and computer scientist, discusses the role of artificial intelligence today with Clark Wolf (Iowa State), a bioethicist and philosopher. Their conversation is moderatored by Alex Tuckness (Iowa State), a political science professor.
