Today was a BIG day! I'm stoked to share I'm the host of a new podcast called The TED AI Show. I also had the chance to co-host a "mind expanding" session on the TED2024 stage with the one and only @TEDchris featuring the likes of @vkhosla, @drfeifei, @ashtom, @hlntnr and more.

For those following the Timnit Gebru firing, author and tech activist @xrw, speaking just after Google’s head of AI Jeff Dean, just emphasized responsible AI and the people it should protect, by calling out Dean from the TED stage 🔥

Corporate activism has often been understood as an outcome of Trump era polarization, and thus a particularly American phenomenon. Not any more. On @qz today I explain why corporate activism and global political risk are starting to converge: qz.com/work/1797058/2020-is-…

There is a common belief that since humans can drive cars with a pair of eyes, hence computers can drive cars just with a camera. The problem is we don't drive cars with eyes but with a giant brain attached to them. We don't currently know how to replicate such a brain.

"The whole field of AI resembles a giant collective of wizards of Oz. A lot of effort is put in to convincing gullible public that AI is magic, where in fact it is really just a bunch of smoke and mirrors." Harsh but fair. [I promise to stop...really.] blog.piekniewski.info/2019/1…
