How Not To Be Governed (Like That)

Hi,

The Culture & Technology Podcast is back! Over the last months we’ve recorded new episodes, visiting artists and creatives in their studios in Berlin, London and Vienna.

To kick off this season I sat down Dr Mercedes Bunz to discuss how AI represents a fundamentally different technological shift from previous digital revolutions.

We discuss artificial intelligence as a solution searching for problems rather than solving existing needs; her research on what language actually means in large language models; why we need public AI and open data sets to counter corporate dominance; and how “hating AI” has become the new opium distracting us from necessary systemic change.
