Two Computer Scientists Debunk A.I. Hype with Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor

The AI hype train has officially left the station, and it's speeding so fast it might just derail. This isn't because of what AI can actually do, it's all because of how it's marketed. This week, Adam sits with Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor, computer scientists at Princeton and co-authors of "AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference." Together, they break down everything from tech that's labeled as "AI" but really isn’t, to surprising cases where so-called "AI" is actually just low-paid human labor in disguise.
