AI Asia Pacific Institute Podcast

The AI Asia Pacific Institute (AIAPI) is hosting a series of conversations with leading artificial intelligence (AI) experts to study ChatGPT and its risks, looking to arrive at tangible recommendations for regulators and policymakers. These experts include Dr. Toby Walsh, Dr. Stuart Russell, Dr. Pedro Domingos, and Dr. Luciano Floridi, as well as our internal advisory board and research affiliates. We have published a briefing note outlining some of the critical risks of generative AI and highlighting potential concerns.

The following is a conversation with Dr. Pedro Domingos.
