A nuanced discussion about AI's impact (with MIT's Sinan Aral) | Pioneers of AI

The rhetoric around AI tends to swing between doomerism and idealism, but the reality is much more nuanced. In this special live episode, Pioneers of AI turns the tables; MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral interviews host Rana el Kaliouby and gets her candid perspective on the current state of AI. Dr. el Kaliouby makes the case for  human-centric artificial intelligence that augments humans, rather than replaces them. She also speaks frankly on the risks of a male dominated startup landscape, defends why AI needs EQ, and shares a piece of uncharacteristically critical advice she received from ChatGPT.
