BBC Radio 4 - The Reith Lectures - Reith Lectures 2021 - Living With Artificial Intelligence
The lectures will examine what Russell will argue is the most profound change in human history as the world becomes increasingly reliant on super-powerful AI. Examining the impact of AI on jobs, military conflict and human behaviour, Russell will argue that our current approach to AI is wrong and that if we continue down this path, we will have less and less control over AI at the same time as it has an increasing impact on our lives. How can we ensure machines do the right thing? The lectures will suggest a way forward based on a new model for AI, one based on machines that learn about and defer to human preferences. The series of lectures will be held in four locations across the UK; Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester and London and will be broadcast on Radio 4 and the World Service as well as available on BBC Sounds.

A new exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution features an interactive display that incorporates the first "genderless voice assistant." The voice assistant, known as "Q," is located at the FUTURES exhibit and the Smithsonian's website describes it as a voice that "was synthesized by combining recordings of people who identify variously as male, female, transgender, or nonbinary." "By mixing multiple voices together, Q's makers have created a voice'for a future where we are no longer defined by gender, but rather by how we define ourselves,'" the website says. The genderless voice system was developed over the last few years by a Danish company called Virtue Nordic and it describes itself as "like Siri or Alexa but without the gender."
