What lessons can AI learn from AVs? with Tim Lee

Some of the challenges with developing better AI have already been faced by other new technologies - like autonomous vehicles.

Tech and policy reporter Tim Lee (Understanding AI, Ars Technica, Washington Post)) joins to discuss his and Greg’s shared appreciation for autonomous vehicles. Tim has covered AVs for years, and breaks down what a company like Waymo can show us about what’s ahead for AI at large.
