This week we're guested by Helsinki based Olof Hoverfält works as strategy & business design consultant at technology company Reaktor. Olof has made a name for himself as a writer and public speaker with expertise in artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Olof talks about:

How AI is used when facing problems we’ve never encountered before.
The mystery of how machines learn to identify objects.
How children and algorithms tend to just identify processes, even though we don’t know exactly how.
The bias issue of AI.
The complexity of creating language models, and the simplicity of applying them.
How popular culture affects AI and vice versa.
The myth of machines and AI taking human jobs.
Can AI be creative, or is that a uniquely human trait?
