Karen Hunter is joined by Emmy-winning producer and founder/leader of AI for the People, Mutale Nkonde, to discuss generative AI systems-like ChatGPT-and what their entrance into society should mean to us. As tech experiments and innovations continue to rise, we have to consider their foundations and the effects they could have on our society.
Is ChatGPT truly a tech innovation when we’re feeding it all of the information it retains for free? Also people are behind tech, and racist tropes and bigotry are still prevalent in tech systems. How invested should we be in systems like ChatGPT?
