Did anyone actually read that MIT AI study that made the market swoon? (I did!) Also: The latest on AI in schools and Melania’s robot paranoia
Manage episode 505845108 series 3404213
What’s up with “the MIT study” that claims 95% of all AI pilots fail? Did anyone actually read it beyond the headline? (Dan did—and he has thoughts.)
Also: the good, the bad, and the quietly dystopian side of putting AI in kids’ classrooms.
And… are robots really the thing Melania should be worrying about?
That’s just some of what Kwaku Aning, return guest and founder of Retrofuturism, and I get into on this very lively, very bubbly, and very uncrafted edition of CRAFTED.
