Ever wish you could sit down with a real-deal AI technologist and ask them what’s on earth is going on? In this double-episode of Tech Mirror, Johanna chats with Bill Simpson Young and Tiberio Cataneo, CEO and Chief Scientist at Gradient Institute. This independent, non-profit research institute works to build safety, ethics, accountability and transparency into AI systems.

In Part One of this wide-ranging conversation, the trio:

- define key terms like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Large Language Models, Frontier vs Foundation AI, Narrow vs General AI

- chat about Bill’s biggest bugbear

- talk about why Bill and Tiberio both signed the Pause Letter and

- discuss if it is even possible to regulate Artificial intelligence (spoiler alert: it is)

- and consider how liability could be used to incentivise improved AI safety.

In Part Two, they discuss:

- the benefits and perils of open-source AI models

- the possibility of securing an international agreement on AI safety, US and China dynamics and the opportunity for Australian leadership

- the practical work that Gradient is doing to facilitate the technical implementation of ethical AI frameworks to address AI harms today.
