Bot the difference: AI’s absence in economic data

Listen Later

For all the promise of transformation that artificial intelligence offers, a close look at macroeconomic data shows little change. Sit tight. A brutal attack in Nigeria reveals how the security crisis is spreading ominously. And a tribute to Virginia Oliver, who cut an unusual figure on the lobster boat she skippered for decades.


Guests and host:

  • Alex Domash, economics correspondent
  • Ọrẹ Ogunbiyi, Africa correspondent
  • Jon Fasman, senior culture correspondent
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered: 

  • Artificial intelligence, macroeconomics
  • Nigeria, security, jihadism
  • Virginia Oliver, Maine, lobsters
