485: Conversation Is a Kind of Music with Alan Blackwell
Embeddedfm
Embedded is a show about engineering. We talk with a wide variety of educators, makers, entrepreneurs, and engineers.
Alan Blackwell spoke with us about the lurking dangers of large language models, the magical nature of artificial intelligence, and the future of interacting with computers.?
Alan is the author of Moral Codes: Designing Alternatives to AI ?which you can read in its pre-book form here: https://moralcodes.pubpub.org/
Alan’s day job is as a Professor of Interdisciplinary Design in the Cambridge University department of Computer Science and Technology. See his research interests on his Cambridge University page.
(Also, given as homework in the newsletter, we didn’t directly discuss Jo Walton’s 'A Brief Backward History of Automated Eloquence', a playful history of automated text generation, written from a perspective in the year 2070.)
