Bloopers at the end 🤭

I came across the news on how the ‘Godfather of AI’, Geoffrey Hinton, is doing a 180. The 75-year-old OG in AI & deep learning has concerns about the serious risks he now believes may follow this technology, which he’s been a huge part of.

So you might not know this (or maybe you do), but I have a not-so-distant past life as a medic. And one of the things that got me intrigued by blockchain technology as a whole is its use case within healthcare.

I came across an infographic by a research institute that does a good job of listing current areas of need in healthcare as a whole, but here are two that stood out to me.

If Money Exists, Why is Crypto a Thing?

We’re watching our favourite TV show, and mid-laughter, I randomly hand you a blank piece of paper. What would be your reaction? Shock? Confusion? Mild irritation? But what if that piece of paper was a £50 bill? Yeah. Now we’re talking. Money. It’s said to make the world go round…

It’s everywhere we turn: generative artificial intelligence.

Recently, I got a notification on Notion that I could now generate content using their AI integration. Not long after, my browser (Microsoft Edge) also prompted me to join their waitlist for the new ChatGPT-enabled Bing search engine.

But this had me thinking about the elephant in the room?

No, not the one on if AI will take away creative jobs.

What about copyright?

Who owns the creative rights to whatever is created: me, you, ChatGPT, Microsoft?

Let’s chat about that in today’s audio post above.
