A conversation with UC Santa Barbara Assistant Professor Matt Beane about his book "The Skill Code: How to Save Human Ability in an Age of Intelligent Machines."
In this episode we have a conversation with Renée Cummings, Founder & CEO of Urban AI, about the issues and opportunities for AI in urban settings. While we recorded this before the current protests, our conversation with Renée couldn’t be more timely as we talk about the use of AI in law enforcement and recruiting.
We think Renée’s specialized focus on AI in urban settings will be essential to understand as we, as a society, seek to bring people together and rise up out of the conflicts and economic strife that are hurting so many today.
