Valuable as a non-technical overview of areas where A.I. is applied. Mixed feelings about production quality. Introduces some relevant issues.

This was an interesting look at AI in several fields including journalism, healthcare, banking, art and music. The extent to which AI is being used may surprise you. Journalist White interviews experts in several fields to discuss implications and more. A thought provoking listen.

Interestingly, I used the voice dictation on my iPhone to generate the title and it originally put “Fantastic Siri’s” and then resisted my efforts to change it.

This was an excellent series created and narrated by the author which I enjoyed hearing. It was very informational and riveting in the extreme. And, I suppose it must be said, a bit frightening.

Fantastic Series!

An excellent high level overview of how AI is used and adaptated to the needs/wants of people. Much better listening experience than I expected. A thought provoking moment for those of us not in the field of AI. Highly recommended.

It’s an ok experience; I would just not pay for it again. It’s like the white noise radio program that is on in the background while you are doing other things...or at the doctor’s office. Content is shallow.
There’s plenty of fake news presented as fact while criticizing fake news. That’s an annoyance. The biggest challenge was some of the episodes were difficult to listen to-in particular if it was broadcasting through a Bluetooth speaker...better production required.
Overall, if it were just in the radio, I guess it would be ok.
