Audio of this conversation is available via your favorite podcast service. Alex Hanna, the director of research at the Distributed AI Research Institute and Emily M. Bender, a professor of linguistics at the University of Washington, are the hosts of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, a show that seeks to “break down the AI hype, separate fact from fiction, and science from bloviation.” I spoke to Alex and Emily about the show’s origins, and what they hope will come of the effort to scrutinize statements about the potential of AI that are often fantastical.
