In one moment, AI applications can appear benevolent, even helpful. Like when Netflix offers up viewing suggestions, or Amazon recommends an item you might like. It can also be intrusive. Facial recognition, for instance, can and has been used to track and screen innocent people simply going about their business. AI, you might say, wears many faces. One moment, it&#x2019;s Big Brother watching your every move. The next, it&#x2019;s R2D2 trying to save your life.&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div> <span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I&#x2019;m dramatizing, but you get the point.

Like listening. As a higher species, we&#x2019;re blessed with the gift of language and while these days it feels like people are more interested in talking than listening, we have the ability. The question is: Are we making the most of it? Consumed, as we are, by social media, it leaves the impression that everyone has something to say. If only that were true. Sociologists and psychologists tell us that it&#x2019;s shaping our listening habits and instigating new levels of so-called communication bias. Filters, in other words. We&#x2019;ve started to hear what we want to hear and less of what&#x2019;s actually being said.&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">To some degree, that might explain the repeated failings of pollsters.

If technologies like expert.ai have an imbedded ability to detect 80+ different &#x201c;sentiments,&#x201d; and segment them in order to best determine what someone really believes, then what chance do we and our biological brains have in competing with that?&#xa0;</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div><table class="editor-image OneColumnMobile" style="mso-table-rspace: 5.75pt;" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="image-cell " align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto !important; max-width: 100% !important;" width="185" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/984c9dd3-fa4e-477e-8d5f-592ea9b74f65.jpg"> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden" width="15" height="1" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 1px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="15" height="1" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="mobile-hidden" height="5" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 5px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="1" height="5" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden" width="5" height="5" align="center" valign="top" style="height: 1px; line-height: 1px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="" width="5" height="1" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div> <span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">If you like what you hear, please share this week&#x2019;s and previous week&#x2019;s episodes with friends and colleagues.

Most everyone is thrilled about what AI can and might do someday soon. Self-driving cars, remotely controlled delivery vehicles, homes that clean and restock themselves automatically, medical technologies that can predict (and prevent) our every illness&#x2014;these are the tip of the iceberg, and for the companies that will manufacture and control them, they can&#x2019;t get here soon enough. But there is a dark side. My guest this episode is&#xa0;</span><a href="http://www.jamesbarrat.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(54, 97, 189); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline;">James Barrat</a><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">, futurist, filmmaker and author of&#xa0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">AI: Our Final Invention</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">. With a title like that, you know the news he brings is not good. Among other things, James and I talked about the &#x201c;intelligence explosion&#x201d;&#x2014;the point at which a&#xa0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">computer</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">&#xa0;is able to replicate itself&#xa0;</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">better</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">&#xa0;than human beings can. That&#x2019;s not so far in the future, James says, but for some reason its seen by very few as a clear and present danger. How far away are we from the intelligence explosion? Ten years? Fifty years? Three quarters of a century? As with all things tech, there&#x2019;s the prospect of acceleration. And in the case of AI, that means we humans may not be ready. Are we looking at a handover or a takeover?: In these times of rampant corporate competition and geopolitical intrigue, what hope can we have for agreeing on the ground rules for AI development and deployment?</span> </div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 10px;" alt="" width="5" height="10" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 5px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 5px;" alt="" width="5" height="5" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="split feature editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="50%" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: #F4F4F4;" bgcolor="#F4F4F4"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image content-image" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <a href="http://www.insideasiapodcast.com/anurag-banerjee-the-social-impact-of-artificial-intelligence/"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="285" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/b86467cb-1cc4-40bb-be24-83d30cfedfb7.jpg"> </a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div><div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Click photo to link and listen</span></div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Anurag Banerjee:</span></div> <div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">The Social Impact of AI </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">| Dec 3, 2018&#xa0;|</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text feature-text" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div> <span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Utopian</span><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> - In this episode we focus on the utopian side of artificial intelligence. It&#x2019;s not a subject you hear much about these days, and this program is no exception. Our guests have had a lot to say about&#xa0;AI&#x2019;s possible horrifying applications. But like most things, there&#x2019;s another side. In this episode we turn to AI&#x2019;s better angels&#x2014;and see if we can believe in them.&#xa0;My guest is Anurag Banerjee, Founder and CEO of&#xa0;</span><a href="http://quilt.ai/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(54, 97, 189); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline;">QUILT.AI</a><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">, an early-stage tech and consulting firm that merges machine learning with human and cultural intelligence to create insight for good and for profit. It&#x2019;s a fascinating conversation.</span> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I find myself wanting desperately to believe that AI can cure our most complex social and cultural challenge, and to worship at the altar of AI Altruism. And certainly there&#x2019;s a great deal that might be possible. But it won&#x2019;t come for free. We must sacrifice privacy in return for insights that could change our world. And it might be worth it. Anurag Banerjee believes that technology &#x2013; powered by AI &#x2013; can connect us and solve society&#x2019;s biggest problems. Our machines know us. They know what we want before we do. That&#x2019;s a boon for any organization with something to sell.&#xa0;But what about the ability to save someone&#x2019;s life? Intervene in a crisis? Prevent a terrorist attack? Or slow the rate of suicides? Will large corporations with profit-hungry shareholders go toe-to-toe with tiny start-ups wielding AI sling-shots? </span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px;
