Show notes
Josh Tyrangiel is the author of “AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter.” On today’s show, Josh talks about some of these real people and the problems they’re working on: a professor trying to understand her nonverbal son, a general who delivered millions of Covid vaccines in 2021, and a hospital CEO trying to reduce the rate of deadly infections.
In this episode, Josh explains:
Where AI is helping to reduce hospital infections (and where it’s struggling)
Why distributing the Covid vaccine was almost as hard as creating it
Why convincing people to use AI is often the hardest problem to solve
Why we should use nuclear weapons as a model for regulating AI
