Episode notes

AI research aims to demystify and make AI interpretable as it becomes more integrated into our world. Researchers are working on deciphering existing AI systems and building more explainable ones. However, both approaches are proving to be extremely challenging and progress is slow. The complexity of AI models based on the brain contributes to the difficulty.

This is the first episode of our new two-part series, The Black Box.
