AI politicians, the voice of Her and animal communications
As the UK’s general elections approach, we take a closer look at some of the novel characters emerging in the race to leadership.
This month Smera and Jonah are joined by Michael Katell, an Ethics Fellow in the Turing’s Public Policy Programme, to discuss AI Steve – the chatbot standing in this year’s election.
Smera gives the lowdown on Scarlett Johansson’s legal battle with OpenAI, in a story of life imitating art, imitating life, and Jonah gets all Dr Doolittle at the thought of talking to the animals with the help of AI.
