We introduce you to Alex (male) and Taylor (female), two AI-generated podcasters who present material based on parts of the book or other content fed to Google NotebookLM. Whenever you see the word “we”, it refers to these podcasters.
Episode 0.1 - AI’s Ethical Condundrum
In this conversation, we explore the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI). We discuss how AI can be used to create deepfakes and false content on a large scale, posing a threat to truth and trust. It's alarming how quickly AI spreads misinformation, but we also examine its potential for good. AI is already transforming healthcare, aiding climate change predictions, supporting disaster management, and improving education.
We agree that AI itself is neutral—its impact depends on how it's used. This is why human ethics are critical in shaping its development and application. Without clear ethical frameworks, regulations, and proper education, AI could be misused. However, with responsible guidance, AI can be a tool for positive change. It's up to us to ensure AI benefits society while minimizing harm.
