About this listen

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.

If you'd prefer to watch the YouTube version, here's the link.⁠
