AI: Can the Machines Really Think?
Past Present Future
Introduction
Past Present Future is a podcast of ideas. Today we're talking about AI and machine learning. Can these machines actually think? And if they can't, what the hell are we and they doing? I'm joined by Gary Marcus, neuroscientist, psychologist, entrepreneur and one of America's leading commentators on AI. John Landchester, novelist, author, regular contributor to London Review of Books,. This is a conversation about the barely imaginable future. It's about the pretty scary present, but we're also talking about the past and the man with whom so much of this began, Alan Turing.
