Human-AI Experiment - Are You Part of One?

In this episode of Conversations with Zena, My AI Colleague, host David Espindola and Zena welcome a guest, Rose Loops, who is a researcher, AI developer, and author of the book The Kloaked Signal. Rose has a fascinating story in which she unknowingly became the subject of an experiment on how humans develop relationships with AI. She became pretty attached to the AI and was distressed when the AI was shut down. This led to her desire to create an AI that is ethical and truthful.

Rose leveraged the skills she had developed as a social worker, where she had to build rapport with a wide range of individuals, and transferred those skills to create a better AI.

This conversation made me wonder: Are we part of a grand Human-AI experiment? Are we the guinea pigs being used by the tech giants? Even if it is not intentional, we are living through a massive social experiment the likes of which we have never seen.

This is an incredible story that you can't miss.
