Talking Machines: The pace of change and the public view of machine learning, with Peter Donnelly
In episode ten of season three we talk about the rate of change (prompted by Tim Harford), take a listener question about the power of kernels, and talk with Peter Donnelly in his capacity with the Royal Society’s Machine Learning Working Group about the work they’ve done on the public’s views on AI and ML.
