Transcript
Washington. AI is everywhere, and so is the hype, fear, and jargon around it. I'm Jess Love, host of the new podcast Life Automated, thoughtful conversations about AI that go deep without getting too technical. You shouldn't need to be an AI person to make sense of the future we're building. Life Automated is from Kellogg's Ryan Institute on Complexity and distributed by KQED, part of the NPR Network.
