MIT Technology Review's "In Machines We Trust" podcast covers Geoffrey Hinton appearance at EmTech Digital

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,  May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MIT Technology Review's signature AI and tech leadership events, Future Compute and EmTech Digital concluded this week at an inflection point not only in emerging tech but with the appearance of Professor Geoffrey Hinton who announced he was leaving Google following his change in views regarding the very tech he helped build. This moment sat alongside discussions about the microchip technology race between the U.S and China, and responsible AI.

Hinton's full interview is now available as an episode of In Machines We Trust, MIT Technology Review's award-winning podcast. Hinton, in conversation with Technology Review's senior editor of AI, William Douglas Heaven explains why he says that it is "quite conceivable that humanity is just a passing phase in the evolution of intelligence" and that advanced AI "may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running, but after that, maybe not." He also explains why, despite this, he is not liquidating his investment in AI.

MIT Technology Review has been at the forefront of the discourse surrounding digital transformation and AI ever since 2013 and the first EmTech Digital. Both events this year raised questions and discussion that will be covered in the award-winning podcast series, "In Machines We Trust," recapping the events of last week on the MIT campus.

The special episode, "Live: A conversation with Geoffrey Hinton" is available now wherever you follow and listen. Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and TuneIn.
