#28: The Good, The Bad, and The AI
Days after we discussed Google's new AI Overview (SGE) feature, there's been news that it can provide false and misleading information. Some examples we've seen of these hallucinations are pretty wild, such as recommending how many rocks a person should eat per day or how to help cheese stick to pizza using non-toxic glue.
Now that you've lost your appetite (and maybe a little bit of your confidence in AI), have no fear. It's important to remember artificial intelligence is still fairly new to us—which gives us even more of a reason to learn what to be cautious of and how to leverage it for good.
In this episode, we dive into some interesting stories and give our takes on them, such as:
• Airbnb's use of predictive AI to reduce disruptive parties during peak holidays
• Elon Musk's $6 billion funding round for his AI company X.ai and his claim of achieving AGI by 2025
• A predictive report stating that 50% of jobs could be replaced by AI by 2027
