  • Summary

  • Welcome to our first episode of Season 2 of Reinforcement Talking, UCL AI Society's Podcast!

    This episode is an audio version of our recent AI Debate. It's difficult to think of a question with higher stakes. Some AI experts like Geoffrey Hinton think that AI should be considered just as risky as pandemics or nuclear war; others, like Melanie Mitchell, see the risks as vanishingly small.

    It was a pleasure to host 4 experts on this topic, including

    • Reuben Adams, a UCL AI PhD student
    • Chris Watkins, Professor in Computer Science at Royal Holloway
    • Jack Stilgoe, a Science Technology Professor at UCL
    • Kenneth Cukier, Deputy Executive Editor at The Economist.
