Today’s episode is all about artificial intelligence and its ever-growing role in our society. First, NPR’s Steve Inskeep speaks with tech entrepreneur Mustafa Suleyman about his new book, The Coming Wave, and why – as someone who’s deeply involved in the world of AI – Suleyman insists it begs for regulation. Then, NPR’s Chloe Veltman speaks with New Yorker cartoonist Amy Kurzweil about her new graphic memoir, Artificial: A Love Story, which recounts how the artist and her dad used her late grandfather’s songs, photographs and documents to create a chatbot that resembles him.
