    The TED AI Show: Is AI just all hype? w/ Gary Marcus

    What is an AI anyway? | Mustafa Suleyman

    What is an AI anyway? | Mustafa Suleyman

    When it comes to artificial intelligence, what are we actually creating? Even those closest to its development are struggling to describe exactly where things are headed, says Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, one of the primary architects of the AI models many of us use today. He offers an honest and compelling new vision for the future of AI, proposing an unignorable metaphor — a new digital species — to focus attention on this extraordinary moment. (Followed by a Q&A with head of TED Chris Anderson)

    The TED AI Show: AI therapy is here. What does it mean for you? w/ Dr. Alison Darcy and Brian Chandler

    The TED AI Show: AI therapy is here. What does it mean for you? w/ Dr. Alison Darcy and Brian Chandler

    We may think the complexities of the human mind can only be understood by other humans. Yet research on chatbots and psychology suggests non-human bots can actually help improve mental health. Bilawal talks with Dr. Alison Darcy, the founder of mental health app Woebot, and Brian Chandler, an app user, to learn what chatbots reveal about our inner lives and what they can (and can’t) do when it comes to emotional wellness. Check out the 99% Invisible episode we reference in the show here: For transcripts for The TED AI Show, visit go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts

There is no video

I watch other video podcasts, including ones by Ted Talks, and they work. This show just appears to not actually have any video served with the audio.

Would change back to 5 stars if not for missing video.

Good content but why the music?

I don’t know why some of the TED audio podcasts feel the need to have random background music - which sometimes feels somewhat incongruous to the content that it is accompanying.

You have some good short pieces but you should really stop putting a music track onto it when the person is talking. It’s one thing when music is added to narrative fiction podcasts but it feels very out of place on your fact-based show.
