Reclaiming AI for Public Good w/ Eleanor Shearer
Manage episode 429279935 series 3439881
On this week's Macrodose, Eleanor Shearer takes us in a deep dive into AI and the enormous processing power that goes into sculpting vast quantities of data. How does the ownership and control of computing power define the very nature of our digital economy? What can we realistically do to prevent the monopolisation of compute by Big Tech? And is there a role for the government in sculpting the landscape of AI development - remaking tech for people, not for profit?
Eleanor Shearer is a senior research fellow at the London-based think tank Commonwealth. She is also a novelist by night, and you can find my debut book River Sing Me Home here: tinyurl.com/ymuthwaj
