What humans get (and don't get) from AI (with MIT Media Lab professor Pattie Maes) | Pioneers of AI

Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is the next horizon that could match or surpass human thinking. Companies are investing billions in it, but not necessarily in projects to help humans with our memory, health, or well-being. MIT Media Lab professor Pattie Maes believes a different approach to how we advance AI could center and even re-define the human experience. With more than 30 years of experience in AI, she co-leads the Advancing Humans with AI (AHA) initiative and explores what it will take to ensure that AI supports human flourishing. In this episode Maes shares her benchmarks for this goal, along with research on outcomes for humans using AI every day. 00:00 - Introducing Pattie Maes 02:12 - Pattie’s career in AI 07:22 - Leading the Fluid Interfaces group 12:35 - Augmented Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence 15:52 - The human flourishing benchmark 21:38 - Concerns around AI’s impact on societal relationships 25:51 - The human AI interface 32:05 - The privacy implications of wearable AI interfaces 34:25 - Being human in the age of AI 🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pioneers-of-ai/id1763085968 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6gbpjgcqJ40rtPrHnXeOWG 💻 LEARN MORE Our website: https://www.pioneersof.ai/ ⚡JOIN OUR COMMUNITY LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pioneersofai/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pioneersofai Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pioneersofai X: https://twitter.com/pioneersofAI TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@pioneersofai 💡ABOUT US Pioneers of AI is your guide to the latest technological frontier.
