Rewind Ep. 15 - Artificial Intelligence | SciShow Tangents Podcast

Original Airdate: February 19, 2019

We’ve all heard about “The Algorithms” that affect our lives, making decisions for and about us. And artificial intelligence systems are recommending podcasts, picking out targeted ads, and playing games against humans every single day. This week, we’re going to skim the surface of AI and chat about everything from Siri to personality prediction software.

A big thank you to Patreon subscriber Garth Riley for helping to make the show possible!

Oh wow an episode on AI that is a rewind and not a recent one! I've rewatched so many episodes so many times but I don't remember this one. On a side note, can i have a Hank buck from one of the older seasons if u don't need it anymore? It would really mean a lot to me! Think of it as an NFT but without NFT bs 😂

I was so confused because I would've sworn I'd heard the raising AI story before but he said he made it up. Turns out they already aired this one as a classic like a year ago, so this is a rewind of a rewind now.
