Are we trusting artificial intelligence before its ready? Welcome to Law Zero: a podcast about the implications (intended or otherwise) of emerging technology.

Our season 1 finale is tackling the topic that made us want to start this podcast in the first place: Artificial Intelligence + Trust. This show will cover everything from introducing Mark Sagar’s computer baby that inspired/scared us, how your spam filter is actually a type of A.I., why we think of A.I. as an impressionable toddler (who should NOT be given the keys to a Ferrari), and just casually screaming into the void.
