AI takes a huge amount of energy to run and could make it harder to fight climate change. On the other hand, AI could help make our energy systems more sustainable, efficient and safer. Three experts talk all things AI and energy with a live audience.

Kara Swisher, the one-of-a-kind tech reporter, podcaster and book author, dropped by The University of Texas at Austin’s Cactus Café for a spirited conversation with a live audience about her concerns over the concentration of power in a few big tech companies, the capacity of tech to be used as both a tool and a weapon, her embrace of self-driving cars and her belief that AI will never replace human creativity.

How much of our news is AI-generated right now and how might that change? With more and more misinformation posing as news, how can we sort out fact from fiction? And, in the face of falling revenue, can AI help save the news industry?

There are a lot of wild claims about what AI can do to help make us healthier—so how can we figure out what’s real and what’s hype? And are there some potential pitfalls with these new technologies?

AI is transforming the way scientists design cancer drugs and vaccines, study how stars form, translate brain activity into speech and turn pollution into useful products.

Who will ultimately benefit from having more of our work done by AI—employees or employers? What about potential harms, like forcing us to spend time cleaning up mediocre products—pushing down wages—or eliminating jobs altogether? And how can we best prepare for working in an AI-powered future?

AI tools might transform education, say by giving every student a smart, patient and affordable tutor. But could these tools actually hamper learning? And what’s the point of paying to go to college if you can learn everything from AI chatbots?

Greg Durrett tackles your burning questions about large language models: How did they get so good so fast? Will they eventually be smarter than us? Will they take our jobs, flood us with misinformation or perpetuate harmful biases?

What do we even mean when we say “artificial intelligence”? And how do we make sure it’s safe and useful? Here, with all the answers, is AI and robotics expert Peter Stone.

The University of Texas at Austin is launching a new podcast on everything you need to know about artificial intelligence.
