Andy and Dave cover a wide variety of topics this week, starting with two prominent examples of employees and researchers objecting to certain uses of AI technology. Andy and Dave then discuss a recent GAO report on AI, as well as France’s announcement to invest in AI. They also discuss AI in designing chemical synthesis pathways, AI in reading echocardiograms, meta-learning (learning how to learn in unsupervised learning), helping robots express themselves when they fail, and a collection of papers, graphic novels, and videos. By the end, Dave’s arms are flailing wildly!
