The AI Fix #20: Elon’s androids, emotional support chickens, and an AI Fix super fan

In episode 20 of “The AI Fix”, Mark asks an AI to make a very important decision, the Nobel academy finds a bandwagon, Graham gets a new nickname, a pair of robots prove that AI can’t do humour, and our hosts find out why emotional support insects haven’t taken off.

Graham introduces Mark to Optimus, the robot that can’t be trusted to fold a t-shirt, and Mark introduces Graham to an AI Fix super fan.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
