Season 2 kicks off with Episode 1 - Concepts and Categories Part I with RADIO AI, Director Cindy Mason who reveals AI's hidden key to 'making sense' of the world - Concepts and Categories. People name and organize everything in the world this way, and AI systems do, too. Some neuroscientists even think our physical brain is organized around Concepts and Categories. And its not just one kind of AI that does this, but ALL of AI is based on naming and labeling the world as concepts and categories. For Machine Learning, Robotics, Natural Language Processing or any other branch of AI, this is true. Examples of categories are Dogs, Cats, and Beachy-Things. How does an AI system know that a turtle is a Beachy-Thing, but a clown shoe is not? How does an AI system determine that a 3-legged Dalmatian named "Spot" is a Dog and not a Cat? Join Cindy as she explores the answers to these questions and more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
