A.I. and 3D Printed Cars | FULL SHOW | #290




Popular Science Radio show

Summary: Will we be able to instill our core human values into artificial intelligence? What is the revolution of 3D printing going to do to the car market? We entertain these important questions here on Popular Science Radio! Segment 1: Heartificial Intelligence Should we still be using Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics as universal laws for artificial intelligence? Heartificial Intelligence Author, John C. Havens, puts the growing field of A.I. in perspective, and urges us to codify our ethics so it's more easily understood by robots.
