The Story: Embracing AI and All Life’s Uncertainties w/ David Spiegelhalter

21 May 2025

Audio

Description

Statistician David Spiegelhalter is no stranger to AI – he used it to help him research his recent book and, back in the late 70s, he helped develop foundational algorithms for the tech. So, he understands the pandora’s box that technology can represent, as well as the uncertainty embedded in its future development. Spiegelhalter sits down with Oz to unpack how we should interpret AI predictions, why better data matters and why we should consciously embrace uncertainty in our own lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
