Murky rules for health care coverage are not new, but now, companies are increasingly turning to AI to help make complex decisions about medical decisions — leading to some devastating mistakes. STAT News reporters Casey Ross and Bob Herman were recently named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for exposing how the large insurer UnitedHealth Group used AI to deny care. On Say More, they talk to Globe Ideas editor Brian Bergstein about the dangers of AI in health care. Email us at saymore@globe.com. Click here to see Casey and Bob's reporting.

The Globe's Brian Bergstein will be joining Say More about once a month to host conversations about artificial intelligence, with the aim of asking big questions and getting past the hype. Artificial Intelligence is hard to define. It's even harder to regulate. But without good regulation, the technology could do a lot of harm to innocent people. This week, Brian speaks to Columbia Professor Tim Wu, the father of “net neutrality,” about the best way to regulate AI and how to avoid the mistakes the government made with social media.

The Globe's Brian Bergstein will be joining Say More about once a month to host conversations about artificial intelligence, with the aim of asking big questions and getting past the hype. This week, Brian speaks to MIT professor Manolis Kellis about the ways AI is decoding DNA and transforming medical research. They discuss the exponential pace of technological progress, the true nature of intelligence, and why no one should fear AI taking their job.

The Globe's Brian Bergstein will be joining Say More about once a month to host conversations about artificial intelligence, with the aim of asking big questions and getting past the hype. This week, Brian speaks to computer scientist Joy Buolamwini about her new book, “Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines.” Buolamwini says technology that has a harder time recognizing Black faces should not be used by our government, and that the solution to AI bias is not “more AI.” She also talks about the organization she founded, the Algorithmic Justice League, and what she calls the “poetry of code.” Email us at saymore@globe.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Founder of NEO.LIFE Jane Metcalfe shares her thoughts on the possibilities offered by the neobiological revolution, how digital technology is changing how we understand and engineer biology, and the important role bio-artists play in helping to navigate the ethical implications of new innovations. Jane Metcalfe is an entrepreneur, publisher, speaker, advisor, manager, and investor. In 2017, she founded NEO.LIFE, a media and events company exploring the radical changes taking place in humans as we harness the tools of engineering and computer science to alter our own biology. Her new book, Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species, co-edited with Brian Bergstein, was just selected for the AIGA's 50 Books/50 Covers list. She is best known as the co-founder and former president of Wired Ventures, whose businesses included Wired Magazine (US, UK, and Japanese editions), Wired News, the search engine HotBot, and Wired Books.

The THCB Book Club is a discussion with leading health care authors, which will be released on the third Wednesday of every month. This month we hosted Jane Metcalfe (Founder of NEO.LIFE) to talk about her 2020 book NEO.LIFE. You can get a copy of it here! NEO.LIFE is a very unusual book. It's over 25 very short chapters (ranging from 1 page to 78) which include interviews, concepts, art, science, science fiction, and one short story. All from different authors or groups of authors that are all edited into place by Jane Metcalfe and Brian Bergstein. The topic is the future of humans! And the loose focus is on biotech, human engineering, and well watch along and get a copy! You can see the video below (and the podcast version will be in our iTunes & Spotify channels very soon). In October the THCB BookClub will feature Mike Magee's book, Code Blue.

NEO.LIFE is the creation of Jane Metcalfe, the co-founder and former president of Wired, the legendary media company that wrote the first draft of the history of the Digital Revolution. Brian Bergstein is one of those journalists who has covered tech journalism for several publishers, most recently for the MIT Tech review. She is now on the path of drafting the Neobiological revolution, taking Brian along on the journey. In this episode, we cover Brian's path to monetization so far at Neo.Life. Support the show.

What computers do is impressive. But some people say it’s not actually AI. Siri and Alexa are good at voice recognition, but does that mean they’re intelligent? In the second installment of AfD’s conversation with Brian Bergstein, former MIT Technology Review editor-at-large, Troy and Lee explore whether curiosity is critical for machine intelligence, what's the significant of a robot's physical presence in the world, and what the future of AI means for our jobs.

There’s a challenge with the artificial intelligence (AI) conversation: not everyone agrees on the right definition of artificial intelligence. In fact, people don't even agree on what intelligence means.   In the first installment of AfD’s conversation with Brian Bergstein, former MIT Technology Review editor-at-large, Troy and Lee cover the basics of AI before turning the discussion to topics including how emotions shape our thinking (and therefore our intelligence), the importance of contextualization in making judgments, and whether artificial intelligence could actually just be a natural outgrowth of human development.
