A recent article by the Wall Street Journal highlights a high turnover rate among those involved in Tesla's Autopilot team - the engineering group responsible for developing self-driving cars. The article suggests that Tesla isn't taking safety seriously causing the engineers to leave for other companies that are doing self-driving cars "the right way." Is Tesla moving too quickly and cutting corners on safety? How safe do these vehicles need to be? What is the "right way" to develop autonomous driving?

It's common to hear that we're in an age of unprecedented technological disruption. Things are moving so fast and AI is leading the way in the workplace. But, what does the data actually say? We take a look at an article and a recent report that dispute this popular narrative.   Links: Episode 20: Musk vs. Zuck and the Future of AI Unproductive entrepreneurship is increasingly common in America False Alarmism: Technological Disruption and the U.S. Labor Market All the President's Friends: Political Access and Firm Value Why Robots Won't Cause Mass Unemployment   Follow us and leave us a rating! iTunes Homepage Twitter @artlyintelly Facebook artificiallyintelligent1@gmail.com  

  Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have had a bit of a back and forth this past week regarding artificial intelligence. It all at a US National Governors Association meeting earlier this month, he called for regulation of AI to prevent the existential threat that AI poses to mankind. Zuckerberg responded to this latest doomsday prediction with bewilderment and dismissing Musk's comments were "pretty irresponsible." Of course, Musk shot back at Zuckerberg and the internet has been all abuzz about it since. We cover some of the motivation behind the dispute and try to understand where these apocalyptic visions are coming from. Do they have any merit and should we be concerned as well?

Much has been made of China's recent focus on artificial intelligence research and development. The country is home to vast amounts of data, high-performing students, multiple, gargantuan tech firms, and a government that has placed AI in its most recent 5-year plan. Is all of that momentum enough for China to overtake the US? How big is the gap? Does culture play a factor?   Links: China may match or beat America in AI Is China outsmarting America in AI?

    Many commentators in the tech world are championing a Universal Basic Income (UBI) due to growing concerns about employment and automation. Mark Zuckerberg recently made it a focus of his Harvard University commencement speech, calling for a new focus in society and economics. Trials have commenced in a number of European countries to measure the impact of UBI, and Switzerland voted on a UBI plan a year ago. The question remains however, is an income guarantee a good idea? Will automation necessitate such a measure? We discuss on this weeks episode!   Links: Will AI Cause Mass Unemployment? Policy Basics: Where do Our Federal Tax Dollars Go?
