"When AI comes for your purpose in life"

[John Hegarty]

A podcast from the New York Times coming from the world of mathematics but with a wider perspective. Available on YouTube without subscription.

"Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University, describes the excitement and grief of watching A.I. take on work that gives people a sense of purpose — and asks what could be lost if machines deliver answers without the human struggle, insight and understanding that make solving problems meaningful."

Link to the New York Times itself, though you may need a subscription for this
