CSIRO presents: Everyday AI

AI-written music has won Eurovision contests, computer-generated art is exhibited in galleries, and deep learning systems are even writing films and novels. So when it comes to creativity, do humans still have anything that machines don’t? Jon Whittle speaks to experts and musicians to find out how AI can be used as a tool by artists to push creative boundaries. We’ll learn the difference between how babies learn versus AI and ask whether AI should have legal rights as an inventor.

Everyday AI is a CSIRO podcast. This episode features composer Justin Shave from Uncanny Valley, writer and musician Claire L. Evans, Alison Gopnik, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley and Toby Walsh, a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence.

Jon Whittle busts the Hollywood sci-fi myth that artificial intelligence is out to replace humans. We learn the history of AI from WW2 code-breaking machines to computer chess players that beat world champions, and hear how artificial intelligence is already very much a part of our daily lives. Jon and our experts break down the difference between data-driven AI and deep learning, and tell us whether AI will ever be able to fall in love.

Plus, we dive into real-life examples of how AI is impacting two completely different jobs: firefighters and graphic designers. Join us as we navigate the evolving landscape of AI in the workplace.
