Ep105 "What if AI is not actually intelligent?" (with Alison Gopnik)

Alison Gopnik, a Professor of Psychology at Berkeley, dives into the debate on whether AI should be seen as an intelligent agent or merely a cultural technology. She explores how historical narratives and tools shape our understanding of technology's role in society. The discussion highlights AI's limitations, emphasizing that it reflects human knowledge rather than possesses intelligence. Gopnik also critiques traditional views on intelligence, advocating for a nuanced approach to understanding AI's evolution and societal impact.
