My guest, Emmanuel Maggiori (PhD), is a 10-year AI industry insider and author of the book Smart Until It's Dumb: Why artificial intelligence keeps making epic mistakes (and why the AI bubble will burst). He has developed AI for a wide variety of applications, from extracting objects from satellite images to packaging holiday deals for millions of travelers every day, working as a data scientist and software engineer for various clients. After studying software engineering in Argentina, he completed his PhD at Inria, the French national IT research lab.
He joins me to discuss the dangers of AI and where it can excel. Is AI delivering on its promises? Is AI as good as we think it is? What can humans do better than AI? Do we need AI tools everywhere or are we putting it to use where it is not needed? Is there too much pressure to implement it everywhere? Is it overhyped? Should we be worried?
