Plus: Linda Burney reflects on the referendum
| | | | In the last year, it seems artificial intelligence has cropped up everywhere we look.
But even more ubiquitous is the discourse around this game-changing new technology.
Between think pieces on AI art, reports of copyright woes, and jargon-heavy analyses, it can be hard to make sense of it all.
So instead of wading through the headlines, tune in to Hello AI Overlords!, a new series by Science Friction.
Across six fascinating episodes, you'll hear about the human stories that shaped the emergence of today's AI technology over more than half a century, along with salient predictions of where we might be heading.
The first episode is out now via the ABC listen app.
Plus, for those in Melbourne, join Natasha Mitchell for a live recording of Big Ideas at The Atheneum on Monday, October 30.
Natasha will be joined by author and feminist powerhouse Clementine Ford to discuss her latest book, I Don't: The Case Against Marriage.
Find out more about the event and book here.
Enjoy your weekend,
Anna Levy, deputy digital editor
