Welcome back for another episode of ‘Turn the Lens’ with our ongoing conversations with ChatGPT. We've been hitting the heavy topics of ethics and explainable AI. And I think there are some real challenges there that, that we have to overcome.

But I want to do something a little bit more fun. So in this episode, we're going to do a different type of project, not so heavy and deep, but hopefully, have some fun with ChatGPT and get some answers. So here we go.

Eric Law went searching for robotics opportunities in the construction industry, where machines have been used for decades, starting with earth-moving steam shovels in the 19th century. Recently, drones have taken on some of the more difficult and dangerous tasks. Eric discovered numerous opportunities for robotics, but one stood out due to its size, scale, and ubiquity: wood waste from construction and demolition.

**The Problem:** While steel and concrete have established reuse and recycling streams, 37 million tons of dimensional wood from construction sites are burned or buried in landfills in the US each year. This represents about half of the virgin softwood dimensional lumber produced for US consumption annually.

**The Cause:** Why couldn’t this wood be easily reused? Metal fasteners. Nails, screws, staples, and other fasteners in the used wood could cause significant damage and potentially injury if they were put back through the milling process. The saws, planers, and other equipment are designed to easily cut and process wood, not metal.

**The Solution:** Use robots to quickly and efficiently remove the metal from the used wood, certify its status as 'metal-free' with a metal detector, and then return it to the lumber supply.

Eric partnered with Andrew Gillies and Alex Thiele to create a robot that removes metal so the wood can be reused, and a company to commercialize it. The result is Urban Machine.

Join us as we dive into the intersection of robotics, construction, and sustainability. Eric and his team are using technology behind the headlines—artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, etc.—to economically do the dirty job of removing nails, screws, and fasteners, so the lumber can reenter the market and stay out of the incinerator or landfill.

ChatGPT
Join us for an enlightening episode of the "Turn the Lens Podcast" with host Jeff Frick as we delve deep into the evolving world of artificial intelligence with our special focus on OpenAI's ChatGPT 4 v2. This episode, titled "OpenAI ChatGPT 4 v2: Explainable AI, Audit, Ethics, Hallucinations, Transparency," covers a wide array of critical topics that are at the forefront of AI technology and its integration into society.
In our discussion, we explore the concept of Explainable AI (XAI) and why transparency in how AI models make decisions is crucial for trust and accountability. We tackle the complexities of auditing AI, discussing the challenges of tracing AI decision-making processes, especially as they become more dynamic and less transparent. The conversation also covers the ethical dimensions of AI development, including the prevention of biases and ensuring fairness across AI systems.
Furthermore, we discuss the phenomenon of hallucinations in AI—instances where AI systems generate misleading information—and the implications for users who rely on AI-driven decisions. Our expert guest provides insights into the ongoing efforts to make AI systems more understandable and the practical steps involved in auditing these systems.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and policy, providing valuable insights into the challenges and advancements in AI governance. Tune in to expand your understanding of these pivotal issues and engage with us as we dissect the future of AI. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave your thoughts on our discussion at Turn the Lens Podcast on your preferred platform.
