WHO’S IN CHARGE when we’re using generative AI chatbots? If you think you are then AI expert Jing Hu has news for you. While AI has been trained on human-made content its outputs are actually training us. To find out how and understand the implications on us individually, and as a society, Charting Gen AI caught up with Jing, a scientist, technologist and journalist whose thought-provoking posts at 2nd Order Thinkers introduce novel ideas and challenge orthodoxy.
In Charting’s video interview with Jing you will learn:
How we’re potentially sleepwalking into cognitive dependency
Which societal groups are more vulnerable to ‘brain rot’
What can be done to prevent it, particularly in education
What’s the role of policymakers and regulators (Spoiler alert: we disagree!)
Thank you to everyone who tuned into our live chat. For some reason my camera didn’t work. For a nanosecond I thought about post-editing it with an AI avatar … but no. We’re HUMAN♥️MADE here!
