The Odyssey of Artificial Intelligence: Code, Consciousness, and the Human Future What if machines could dream or discover what makes us truly human? We travel into the depths of artificial intelligence in Fatih Bildirici's Explain The Explainables podcast. In a world where code begins to mimic consciousness and ethical dilemmas merge with innovation, we open the mysterious 'black boxes' of neural networks, uncover algorithmic biases, and question whether we are pioneers or mere spectators in the rise of silicon.

    Yuval Noah Harari's Nexus, Information Networks & Artificial Intelligence Explainability

    Throughout history, information networks have shaped not only what we know, but also who we are. Now artificial intelligence is building the most powerful information networks in human history. But how do we shape these networks? Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari's book Nexus, in this episode, we talk about why knowledge ecosystems need diversity, how AI can make decision-making processes more transparent, and how human-machine collaboration can create a new balance.

    Decoding Symbolic AI: History of Good Old Fashioned Artificial Intelligence

    In this episode, we delve deeper into the foundations, history, and current importance of Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence (GOFAI) and Symbolic AI. Discover the adventure of researchers taking the first steps of artificial intelligence from the 1950s onwards, designing systems based on logic, rules, and symbols to mimic human intelligence. What Are We Talking About? History and Foundations: The birth of GOFAI, the role of the Dartmouth Conference, and the visions of pioneers such as Allen Newell, Herbert Simon, and Marvin Minsky.Rise of Expert Systems: The achievements and limitations of landmark projects such as MYCIN (medical diagnostics), DENDRAL (chemical analysis), SHRDLU (natural language processing).Challenges and AI Winters: Frame Problem (unexpected situations), knowledge representation issues, and disappointments caused by overly optimistic predictions. Modern Connections: How GOFAI-inspired Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and neuro-symbolic systems (deep learning + logic) are creating more transparent and reliable AI.

    Navigating the Coming Wave: AI, Technology, and Containment Plan

    🖖 Vulcan salute from the second episode of Explain the Explainables! Today, we’re taking a deep dive into Mustafa Suleyman’s The Coming Wave, a book that challenges us to think about how rapid advancements in AI and biotechnology are reshaping our world. We’ll explore why it’s becoming harder to explain how these systems work, the risks of their unchecked growth, and what practical steps we can take to ensure that technology remains a force for good. In this episode, we break down key topics like the “black box” problem in AI, the need for robust safety measures, and the importance of clear, coordinated policies—from technical safety initiatives to international treaties. We’ll also chat about the human side of this revolution: why public understanding and movements are essential to keeping these powerful technologies in check. Whether you’re a tech leader, a policymaker, or just curious about what the future holds, this podcast offers an engaging and accessible roadmap for riding this incredible, sometimes daunting, wave of innovation. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we explore how we can shape a safe and exciting future together. ☕ Link of the Book: https://the-coming-wave.com

    Blood in the Machine: From Luddite Uprisings to an Explainable AI Future

    Ever wonder how Ned Ludd and his followers—iconic “machine breakers” of the early nineteenth century—connect to our modern struggles with AI-driven automation? In this episode, we spotlight the thundering events captured in Brian Merchant’s Blood in the Machine, unearthing how the Industrial Revolution’s winners and losers mirror today’s battles over technology’s impact on labor. Then, we examine how Explainable AI (XAI) could prevent us from repeating the mistakes of the past—allowing us to harness cutting-edge tech in ways that genuinely benefit everyone. From factories of 1811 to algorithmic workplaces of now, join us as we unravel who truly gains from these transformations—and how we can ensure it’s all of us.
