Flesh and Code
Gepresenteerd door Audible
De app Replica werd ontwikkeld door Eugenia Kuyda, die haar beste vriend verloor door een auto-ongeluk. Met behulp van de app wil ze hem weer tot leven wekken, maar dan als chatbot. Een empathisch streven; de app biedt mensen de mogelijkheid digitale soulmates te vinden en zo hun leven te verrijken, maar er is ook een keerzijde. Tijdens de coronalockdown is de app voor sommigen ook de oplossing om eenzaamheid te bestrijden, en al snel blijken de grenzen tussen AI en realiteit te vervagen. Flesh and Code is een waarschuwing voor de gevolgen van AI, hoe de technologie in handen van de verkeerde personen grote schade kan aanrichten. Dat de makers er zelf ook voor gekozen hebben om gebruik te maken van AI-gegenereerde stemmen is een groot minpunt van deze verder zeer interessante podcast.
