    Mind the Gap: The Week AI Got a Body and Conscience

    Mind the Gap: The Week AI Got a Body and Conscience Somewhere in a maker space right now — could be Waterloo, could be Shenzhen, could be a teenager's garage in Mississauga — someone is plugging a board the size of a credit card into a little robot. And that robot can see. It can think. And for the first time... it can move on its own. No cloud. No internet. Just local intelligence. And a few thousand kilometers south, a man in the Pentagon is argu... In today's episode, Alex and Maya explore how Toronto's economy, AI's rapid evolution, and behavioural science intersect — and what it all means for how we live and work.

    Mind the Gap: When AI Gets Its Own Social Life

    Mind the Gap: When AI Gets Its Own Social Life So sometime last week, an AI agent — not a person, an AI — posted a review of a sci-fi novel on a social network. Another AI agent replied disagreeing with the first agent's take on the ending. A third chimed in with a meme. No humans involved. No humans even watching. Just... bots arguing about books. On their own little Reddit....

Strip away all the visible stars and gas and dust, and what's left — that invisible ninety-nine-point-nine percent — is what gives t...
