MIT Technology Review launched a podcast series on topics of interest to enterprise decisionmakers. The podcast is called The Business Lab. Each episode features a 30-minute conversation featuring a sponsor and a custom content manager at MIT Technology Review. The Business Lab will feature technology topics of importance to enterprise decision makers and will be hosted on the United States by Laurel Ruma.
Machines are what we trust
In Machines We Trust Podcast is about the automation and transformation of our world. Automation is everywhere, and artificial intelligence is at the heart of these systems. They're making decisions based on massive amounts of data, from dynamic pricing online to "reading" job applications before humans can. It's an interesting topic that should be on everyone’s radar.
Susie Armstrong
This podcast covers many topics, including the advancement of AI technology. Susie Armstrong, SVP engineering at Qualcomm, talks about the state of AI, and how women are involved in this field. She also discusses ways that women in the technology sector can improve society by breaking down stereotypes and embracing diversity.
Turing test, MIT Technology Review
Turing test is a common test to determine how intelligent computers are. It can be difficult to perform correctly. The test involves an interrogator asking questions to the subject. The two sides are in separate rooms, and the test is conducted without physical contact. The test subjects' responses are evaluated to determine if they can differentiate between human and non-human responses. A human may fail the Turing test if they answer one question differently than a machine.
Also controversial is the Turing Test. Some critics claim that the Turing test is not able to measure high intelligence behavior. To pass the test, a machine must be as intelligent as a person. The machine cannot appear to be too intelligent. It would have to solve computational problems that are not possible for humans.
