Your Guides Through the Hellscape of AI Hype
['Justin Hendrix']
The Tech Policy Press Podcast
Alex Hanna, the director of research at the Distributed AI Research Institute and Emily M. Bender, a professor of linguistics at the University of Washington, are the hosts of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, a show that seeks to "break down the AI hype, separate fact from fiction, and science from bloviation." We've been doing our work on AI hype, but the podcast that's coming up, we started that in August of last year, but we've been working together on paper since before that. The idea of AI as being this faith-based article, it does definitely connect with other kinds of promises of automation, other kinds of promises of robotics, of things that are going to be a sort of intelligence that's going to be this intense labor-saving thing.
