S2E28 - The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values with Brian Christian

Best selling author Brian Christian joins the podcast to discuss machine learning and his latest book, The Alignment Problem. Brian and Gus cover the alignment problem - when what we intend to teach machines to do, isn’t what they do - and the many challenges and concerns surrounding artificial intelligence and machine learning. This episode is the first featuring a speaker from this semester’s speaker series, a part of the Nebraska Governance and Technology Center’s Fellows Program. Coming later this season is Christopher Ali on rural broadband, and Anita Allen on race and privacy.
