Is AI on the path to sentience? This time on Minds Worth Meeting, Justin Louis speaks with the director of Columbia University’s Creative Machines Lab, Hod Lipson.

In this episode:

  • Hod talks about the speed with which artificial intelligence is advancing right now and tells us that we shouldn’t think about AI as a “thing” but as a “journey”.
  • Hod, who wrote the book “Driverless: Intelligent Cars and the Road Ahead,” says that it will still be some time before we see truly driverless cars on our highways – “they have to earn their place,” he says.
  • We talk about what creativity means in the context of “creative machines” and he tells us about his autonomous robot that paints stunning works of art.
  • Hod weighs in on one of AI’s most controversial topics – how do we know when AI has become self-aware?
