Hating AI Whilst Using AI

Artificial intelligence is becoming impossible to ignore. It is changing how businesses operate, how people work, how students learn, and even how we think about productivity. But behind the excitement is a much harder question: What happens when we adopt AI faster than we understand its consequences? In this episode of Ethically Questionable, Jamila Brown and Susan Allen Augustin explore the uncomfortable side of AI, from the pressure to use it at work to the environmental cost of the infrastructure behind it. They discuss AI regulation, workplace productivity, education, sustainability, AI ethics, corporate responsibility, and the growing influence of the companies and individuals building these systems. The conversation also explores a particularly uncomfortable contradiction: AI can help people work more efficiently while simultaneously increasing the amount of work expected from them.
