Artificial Intelligence – Ep. 68

Sunfish A.I. Cave Diver

Artificial Intelligence has entered the chat. The media is full of articles about advanced AI applications and how it will soon touch every aspect of modern life. Love it or hate it – it’s going to change the way we interact with our digital devices. But fear not – AI has been embedded in everything from our smart phones to our kitchen appliances, and so far our refrigerators have not organized a robot rebellion. So far.

Jill and Robert discuss how AI has been assisting underwater explorers and what the future looks like when intelligent, robotic digital “personalities” are a common part of daily life.

As we discussed on the podcast, here’s a link to a special online preview of Diving Into The Darkness
