FODI: The In-Between | 05.5 | Semi-Autonomous | B-Side

Festival of Dangerous Ideas - A podcast by Festival of Dangerous Ideas

A text-generating AI that has been trained with FODI transcripts speaks in conversation with a deepfake AI about violence, conspiracy theories and what it means to be human. Our FODI-trained AI was created using Max Woolf’s simplified version of OpenAI’s Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) and Google Colab; Max has created a tutorial so that anyone can train an AI model for free. Semi-Autonomous is a response to Joanna Bourke and Toby Walsh’s discussion. Produced by The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, The Ethics Centre and Audiocraft.
