Welcome to a very different episode of Siliconsciousness. Today, we are taking a creative new approach to discussing the future of AI. This episode comprises the first part of our special event, “The AI Competition: Public Policy Strategies”. The event, co-hosted by MIT Technology Review, brings together some of the leading voices in AI policy from the public and private sectors to role-play these complex issues. These AI leaders play roles in the US, China, and The EU, and enact policies that best align with their roles interests in the AI space. This first episode contains the first phase of the game, as well as introductions from the editor in chief of MIT Technology Review Mat Honan as well as game controller Ed McGrady. We hope you enjoy.
