ALWAYS IMPERFECT – EPISODE 4 – STOP THE WOKE AI!

While the US focuses on putting the brakes on ‘woke AI’ (whatever that is) the rest of the world’s nations confront thorny questions about how to regulate a technology that’s both moving very quickly and lacks any clear definitions. Could regulators strangle AI in the process of regulating it?
