AI isn’t some distant overlord plotting in a lab; it’s already writing your emails, diagnosing your cough, and maybe deciding your loan approval. In this episode, host Emily Laird tears into the 8th Edition of the Stanford AI Index Report to see what’s actually going on. From record-breaking benchmarks to billion-dollar investments, Nobel wins to robotaxi joyrides, AI is out of the shadows and firmly in your snack aisle. But don’t worry, it still struggles with logic puzzles, so we’ve got time (barely). Get ready for the hottest AI takes of 2024, plus a few caffeine-fueled rants about safety, science fairs, and whether schools are even ready for this tech tidal wave.
