I summarise a few papers I have recently read on what LLMs can and cannot do. One (not surprising) finding is that LLMs skill profile is very different from humans. Which is good, means that human+…
MediArXiv Preprints | Error is No Exception: On the Alien Intelligence of Machine Learning
Errors in machine learning systems are an interesting phenomenon. Obscuring the role of AI as a shiny tool of capital, the phenomenon is usually studied with the aim to overcome those errors. This text aims for another direction by digging into one particular error, the phenomenon of “adversarials”.
This talk explores how AI is transforming design processes, enhancing creativity, and rapidly reshaping the roles of creatives, product designers, and design...

The Master's in AI Ethics & Society from the University of Cambridge is designed for professionals. It offers the expertise and skills necessary for critically understanding and responding to the complex socio-technical systems underpinning our greatest AI opportunities and challenges.
In January 2021, we launched ‘A New AI Lexicon:’ a call for contributions to generate alternate narratives, positionalities, and understandings to the better known and widely circulated ways of talking about AI.
How is technology changing culture? From exhibition design to the performing arts, we invite leading curators, researchers, artists and cultural experts to explore how technology is shaping the future of cultural experiences and sparking new opportunities in the process.
The Culture & Technology Podcast is a virtual salon — hosted by the Vienna Business Agency together with Severin Matusek. Each conversation pairs Viennese creatives with an international expert to discuss a topic, entertain a thought and share their knowledge through conversation.
The future of cultural experiences is up to us to create. We hope you’ll join us by subscribing to The Culture and Technology Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
Episode 6: Stochastic Parrot Galactica, November 23, 2022
Listen to this episode from Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 on Spotify. Emily and Alex discuss MetaAI's bullshit science paper generator, Galactica, along with its defenders. Plus, where could AI actually help scientific research? And more Fresh AI Hell. Watch the video of this episode on PeerTube. References:Imre Lakatos on research programsShah, Chirag and Emily M.
