The Good Robot podcast: the EU AI Act part 2, with Amba Kak and Sarah Myers West from AI NOW

Hosted by Eleanor Drage and Kerry Mackereth, The Good Robot is a podcast which explores the many complex intersections between gender, feminism and technology. In the second instalment of our EU AI Act series we talk to Amba Kak and Sarah Myers West, the Co-Directors of the AI Now Institute, a leading policy thinktank based in New York. Amba and Sarah talk about why policy narratives matter, why it's actually fake news that AI is moving too fast for regulation to follow, and why innovation versus regulation is a lazy and outdated maxim. Meanwhile, we chip in with some weird comments about why kitchen whisks are awesome, and why getting inundated by emails is the present day equivalent of somebody badgering your cows in the 1800s. Don't forget to check out our first instalment of the EU AI Act series with Daniel Leufer and Caterina Daniels from Access Now, which is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or any of your other favourite podcasting platforms.
