Olof Hoverfält on humanizing AI


Listen Later

This week we're guested by Helsinki based Olof Hoverfält works as strategy & business design consultant at technology company Reaktor. Olof has made a name for himself as a writer and public speaker with expertise in artificial intelligence.


In this episode, Olof talks about:


  • How AI is used when facing problems we’ve never encountered before. 
  • The mystery of how machines learn to identify objects.
  • How children and algorithms tend to just identify processes, even though we don’t know exactly how.
  • The bias issue of AI.
  • The complexity of creating language models, and the simplicity of applying them. 
  • How popular culture affects AI and vice versa. 
  • The myth of machines and AI taking human jobs. 
  • Can AI be creative, or is that a uniquely human trait?


The Scandinavian Mind podcast is a bi-weekly show, about the intersection of lifestyle and technology. Every Wednesday, we publish an in-depth interview with an innovator from the worlds of design, fashion, beauty, mobility or tech. And every Friday, we publish a panel talk or other behind the scenes content from the world of Scandinavian MIND.
