Word of Mouth - Chatbots
Michael is joined by Emily M Bender, Professor of computational linguistics at the University of Washington and co-author of the infamous paper ‘On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots’.
Cutting through the recent hype, she explains how chatbots do what they do, how they have become so fluent and why she thinks we should be careful with the terminology we employ when talking about them.
Presented by Michael Rosen and produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Ellie Richold.
