Introducing Knowing Machines, a podcast companion to the Knowing Machines project. In this podcast, we're going to look at the data that's used to train artificial intelligence. The building blocks of these systems offer us a powerful way to understand how these systems see the world, how they interpret it, as well as what they don't see, and what they might be getting wrong. So we're here to discuss what that material is and why it matters. The season brings together computer scientists, engineers, social scientists, humanists, and also artists and journalists, a whole range of different interdisciplinary stakeholders in the same room to demystify this moment in artificial intelligence. Episodes will drop weekly. We look forward to have you listen with us.
