AI, People and Power: A Conversation with Kate Crawford & Ryan Calo

Artificial intelligence is perhaps the most hyped technology in the world. In today’s episode, we’re going to hear a discussion that invites the listener to think about how money, power and other troubling forces and ideas that shape our society are built into AI systems and the ways we think about deploying them. In May, the&nbsp;University of Washington’s&nbsp;Tech Policy Lab&nbsp;and&nbsp;Center for an Informed Public&nbsp;cohosted a virtual book talk featuring&nbsp;Kate Crawford, a leading scholar of the social implications of artificial intelligence and author&nbsp;of the recently published book,&nbsp;Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence&nbsp;published this spring by Yale University Press, in conversation with Ryan Calo, co-founder of the Center for an Informed Public co-founder, founding co-director of the interdisciplinary UW Tech Policy Lab and a UW School of Law professor. <a rel="payment" href="https://techpolicy.press/donate/">Support this podcast</a>
