Welcome to Insert AI-Generated Title, a podcast about artificial intelligence and how it impacts our lives, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona.
This season, CCEP student fellows explore the ethical and policy issues arising from the rapid development of AI. From its applications in crime prevention to generative technology, AI raises a variety of concerns around privacy, fairness, transparency, and bias, as well as questions of truth and our very perception of reality. How can we use and design AI in responsible ways? When, if ever, should we trust it?
In today’s episode, CCEP fellows Erik Jaimes-Garcia, Kevin Tapia, Anton Van Oppen, and Jesse Reyes discuss the connection between social media and mental health as it relates to AI. In particular, they explore today’s growing epidemic of social isolation and alienation, as well as toxic productivity.
If you care about these issues and like what you hear, please share our podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues.
