TecHype "Protecting the World from AI" with Stuart Russell

Prof. Stuart Russell from UC Berkeley, a world-renowned expert in artificial intelligence and co-author (with Peter Norvig) of the standard text in the field, debunks misunderstandings around what “AI” actually is and breaks down the benefits and risks of this transformative technology.
Russell provides an expert perspective on the real impacts AI will have in our world, including its potential to provide greater efficiency and effectiveness in a variety of domains and the serious safety, security, and discrimination risks it poses.
TecHype is a groundbreaking video and podcast series that cuts through the hype to debunk misunderstandings, provides insights into the real benefits and risks, and identifies technical and policy strategies to harness emerging technologies for good. The series features 30-minute episodes where host Brandie Nonnecke interviews experts and short TLDR (Too long; Didn't read) videos that analyze and summarize emerging tech policies, regulations, and laws.
