Ep 7 : Ai & Anthropology with Michiel Baas
Manage episode 366865736 series 3460772
In the middle of this Ai hype cycle, it's important to pause, reflect and ask critical questions. Who better to do this with than an anthropologist!
Michiel Baas is presently a senior research fellow with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, was previously a research fellow at National University of Singapore and co-ordinator with the International Institute of Asian Studies in Leeden & Amsterdam.
He chats with Karn Malhotra, as they explore societal attitudes towards Ai and ask critical questions:
- Should we give Ai agency?
- To what degree are we anthropromorphosizing this technology?
- What would it take for us to accept it as a cohabitant rather than a threat to our species?
- Michiel's work profiling data scientists
- Data is 'knowledge' - should data scientists be gatekeepers?
- Data is binary, gender isn't. Do data scientists factor this into LLM's?
