Pioneers of AI is your guide to the latest technological frontier. Each week, host Rana el Kaliouby (AI scientist, investor, author, co-founder of Affectiva) is joined by the leading creators, critics, and thinkers behind mind-blowing technology and asks the important questions about how artificial intelligence is changing the way we live. As we venture together into the unknown, Pioneers is your tool to understanding and anticipating what comes next.
Tech journalist for the New York Times and Hard Fork podcast host Kevin Roose has always been interested in AI, particularly the social side. What is it like to talk to an artificial intelligence, and to have it talk back? How will fast-evolving AI chatbots change our social lives? To find out, Roose invited 18 AI companions into his life, using popular apps like Kindroid and Replika. Roose joins Pioneers of AI to unpack the experience, introduce us to his “friends,” and share the best (and worst) use cases of these chatbots.
Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.
