CSIRO presents: Everyday AI

From smart watches to mammogram readers, artificial intelligence is revolutionising health care. In this episode, we’ll hear from a radiologist who is using AI scanners to increase the efficiency of breast cancer scans, and an engineer creating chatbots for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We’ll learn how the AI in chatbots works, and touch on how the medical field can navigate bias in health data. Everyday AI is a CSIRO podcast. This episode features radiologist and AI researcher Dr Helen Frazer, research scientist and chatbot developer Dr David Ireland from CSIRO and nursing student Lauren Clark.  Hosted on Acast.

Claire L. Evans, a musician and writer known for her innovative work with the dance-pop group Yacht, discusses the intersection of AI and music. She explores how AI can generate unique sounds and songs, pushing creative boundaries. Evans shares insights on how AI and child learning processes parallel, influencing the design of algorithms. The conversation also covers the emotional resonance of AI-generated art, the philosophical implications of authorship, and how artists can collaborate with technology rather than be replaced by it.

Jon Whittle busts the Hollywood sci-fi myth that artificial intelligence is out to replace humans. We learn the history of AI from WW2 code-breaking machines to computer chess players that beat world champions, and hear how artificial intelligence is already very much a part of our daily lives. Jon and our experts break down the difference between data-driven AI and deep learning, and tell us whether AI will ever be able to fall in love. Everyday AI is a CSIRO podcast. This episode features Toby Walsh, a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence, and Alison Gopnik, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley.
