Joined by John Basl, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University (29:09), Adam and John embark on a captivating conversation around the ever-evolving and shifting landscape of technology due to the meteoric rise of AI and language model tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.

First, Adam and John ponder the disruptive impact of ChatGPT on the “contract cheating” market in Kenya and how the WGA strike is, in a way, fighting for the future of humans to have emotions (03:54).

Then, they lock down the HTTPS padlock and discuss the vital role of education and technological literacy in empowering individuals to promote an ethical ecosystem for the future of AI (44:20).

Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
