Books and Beyond with Bound 6.18 Appupen & Laurent: What If AI Falls Into The Wrong Hands?
This is the story of an entrepreneur who almost sold his soul to AI.
In this episode, Michelle speaks with Appupen and Laurent Daudent, the illustrator-scientist duo that came together to create 'Dream Machine' - a graphic novel on AI! The book follows Hugo, who is on the verge of selling his AI tech to a large corporation. But what if the motives behind this purchase are not exactly ethical?
Appupen and Laurent discuss the evolution of AI and why the hype and fear around it might be misleading. They also address their differing opinions on AI, working together from France and India, and why they regret making AI write a chapter of their book!
