In this Sidebar episode, we explore what draws AI researchers to the work that they do. Amii Fellow Bailey Kacsmar talks with Amii's Director of Scientific Operations Adam White about her research into human-centred privacy, why it’s more important than ever to think about how we protect data in AI and what the paradox privacy is.

It started as an idea on a beach in Barbados, and now it’s one of the ways that researchers around the world evaluate AI. On this week’s episode, Amii Fellow and Canada CIFAR AI Chair Mike Bowling tells us the story behind the Atari benchmark and how video games from the 1980s can be used to test leading-edge AI. It’s a story of how a simple scientific curiosity can turn into something with a big impact.
