Quick takeaways

AI can assist doctors in making better decisions and providing better care to patients by analyzing health markers and predicting health outcomes.

Facial recognition software has valuable applications but there are concerns about bias and false identification, efforts are being made to reduce bias and develop proper regulations.

Neural networks and deep learning have revolutionized AI by learning mappings between data and labels, efforts are being made to make them more transparent and understandable.

Deep dives

AI in Medicine

AI has proven to be better than human doctors at certain diagnostic tasks. It has the potential to analyze health markers and predict health outcomes. AI is being used in areas such as dementia detection, fall prevention, and stroke recovery. AI can assist doctors in making better decisions and providing better care to patients.

My guest today is Rama Chellappa. Rama Chellappa is a professor at Johns Hopkins University. He's a chief scientist at the Johns Hopkins Institute for assured autonomy. Before that, Rama was an assistant Associate Professor and later became the director of the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute. Rama is also the author of the book "Can We Trust AI?"

This episode is all about artificial intelligence. Several recent stories about AI have shocked and worried me. We have deep fakes going viral on Tiktok. AI reaching human levels of gameplay at the game "Diplomacy", which is a language-based game of conquest and deception. Then you have the Generative Adversarial Networks or "GANs" creating images from a line of text that rival and often exceed the work done by human graphic designers. Rama and I discuss all of these topics as well as other topics like neural networks, the difference between narrow intelligence and general intelligence, the use of facial recognition software, the possibility of an AI engaging in racial discrimination, the future of work, the so-called alignment problem, and much more.
