A Consequence of Having Language featuring Paul Pangaro
In honor of Spooktober, here's a real...
Well, though there is a very special spooky version of the Emmy's Black Box theme song within, the content of the podcast is not so much one of fear but of hope.
I spoke with Paul Pangaro, PhD, President of The American Society for Cybernetics and Visiting Scholar of Computational Design at the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture (previously a Professor of Practice in Human Computer Interaction).
We dived into a bit of history around the term Cybernetics itself, and also how the system of Cybernetics played a role in the development and understanding of computation and, more specifically, artificial intelligence.
We also talked about the state of Cybernetics today, and our hopes for Cybernetics in the future.
As always, please feel free to tweet my @emmysblackbox with your thoughts/opinions about the podcast.
Thanks for listening!
