MIT Technology Review has launched a podcast series which will focus on topics that are important to enterprise decision makers. The podcast, titled The Business Lab, features a 30-minute conversation between a custom content director at MIT Technology Review and a sponsor partner. The Business Lab will address technology topics that are important to enterprise decisionmakers. It will be hosted by Laurel Ruma in the United States, MIT Technology Review's custom-content director.
Machines are what we trust
In Machines We Trust podcast is about automation in our world. Automation is everywhere. Artificial intelligence is at their heart. They are making decisions based off massive amounts data. These systems can do everything from dynamic pricing online to reading job applications faster than humans. It's fascinating and should be on everyone’s radar.
Susie Armstrong
This podcast includes many topics related to artificial intelligence (AI). Susie Armstrong (SVP of engineering, Qualcomm) discusses the state and future of AI. She also talks about how women working in technology can contribute to society's improvement by breaking down stereotypes, and accepting the power of diversity.
Turing test by MIT Technology Review
The Turing test is a common test to see how intelligent computers can be. The Turing test can be tricky to do correctly. An interrogator will ask questions to the test subject. The two test subjects are separated and have no physical contact. The test subjects responses are then evaluated in order to find out if they can recognize non-human and human responses. If they answer one question differently from a machine, a human might fail the Turing Test.
Also controversial is the Turing Test. Some critics say that the Turing Test does not measure high-intelligent behavior. A machine must pass this test if it wants to be as intelligent and capable as a human. The machine should also not seem to be too intelligent. For example, solving computational problems impossible for a person would make it appear that they aren't human.
Qualcomm SVP of Engineering
A recent podcast featured Qualcomm SVP of Engineering Susie Armstrong. She spoke on the importance of diversity in technology and women. She also shared her career journey, from being a student intern with Qualcomm to becoming a senior executive for Microsoft. She talked about the role of leadership in driving workplace equality. The show also addressed the role of women working in STEM fields and the challenges they face.
