Interdependence 8: Kate Crawford (AI Now)
🕑 Added 2020-06-23 19:28:10 +0000 UTCIn this episode we speak with Kate Crawford, founder of the AI Now Institute and professor who has spent the last decade studying the political implications of data systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
We discuss the anatomy of AI systems and full ecosystem of human and material resources behind an Amazon echo, the need to develop an understanding of the exponential accumulation of power under platform capitalism, the use of AI systems in predictive policing and other controversial areas, and Kate’s parallel experience as an electronic musician.
This episode ends rather abruptly as we got lost in conversation and Kate had to run, so forgive us for the atypical ending!

It will ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤝🤝
Biftek baby! This was my favourite episode to date. I really enjoyed how accessible all the AI discourse was. One to revisit and reflect a lot on, for sure. Would absolutely listen to a KC x HH x MD round II if it came around!
