Should You Be Afraid of AI? Learn to Control It Today! With Jason Barnard and Mariana Franco
In this episode, Mariana Franco and Jason Barnard dive into the intriguing (and slightly scary) world of chatbots, hallucinations, and misinformation. Spoiler: No actual killer robots here, but we explore what happens when AI chatbots go a little off the rails and start generating misleading or downright bizarre responses.
From Bing’s infamous romantic declarations to the risks of AI being led astray by users, this discussion breaks down:
- The difference between misinformation, disinformation, and AI hallucinations.
- Real-life examples of chatbots behaving unpredictably (and why it happens).
- The dangers of feeding AI misinformation and what happens when it learns from bad data.
- Why clarity and consistency in digital footprints are essential to managing AI interactions.
The role users and engineers play in shaping AI’s future (hint: it involves training the machine like a dog!).
Mariana and Jason also tackle the big questions:
- How can governments and companies regulate AI responsibly?
- Will misinformation-fed AI eventually surpass human intelligence?
- What can businesses and individuals do to prepare for the AI-driven future?
