‘AI for Humans’ podcast is the most entertaining way to learn about AI

During a May 2023 episode of the podcast, AI for Humans, a pair of guests engaged in a spirited debate over who would win in a battle to the death: Robocop or the Terminator. It was about as brutal as the hypothetical fight at its center.

Dr. Ehyaigh (pronounced AI), who has a film studies PhD from Berkeley, argued that, unlike the Terminator, Robocop is “not just a killing machine, but a thinking, feeling, and adapting machine.” Her opponent, Cambridge-educated Dr. Cinebotik, replied that it was these exact qualities that would ensure the cyborg’s defeat: “Unlike your beloved Robocop, the Terminator doesn’t waste time on feelings or doubts. It has no moral quandaries or human frailties to exploit.”
