Artificial Intelligence and You
148 - Guest: Missy Cummings, Robotics Professor and Former Fighter Pilot, part 2
17 Apr 2023
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . If you want straight talk about today's overheated AI in robotics applications, you would want someone as direct as, say, an F-18 pilot. And that's what we've got, in Missy Cummings, one of the US Navy's first female fighter pilots (yes, that Top Gun) and now professor researching AI in safety-critical systems at George Mason University and director of Duke University's Humans and Autonomy Laboratory. She recently spent a year as Safety Advisor at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration where she made some very candid statements about Tesla. In part 2 of our interview, hear what Missy thinks about Tesla, ChatGPT, and Boston Dynamics; the truth behind that dogfighting AI, the possibility of complete automation of air travel, how AI would handle air emergencies, and more. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
