In the middle of this Ai hype cycle, it's important to pause, reflect and ask critical questions. Who better to do this with than an anthropologist!

Michiel Baas is presently a senior research fellow with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, was previously a research fellow at National University of Singapore and co-ordinator with the International Institute of Asian Studies in Leeden & Amsterdam.

He chats with Karn Malhotra, as they explore societal attitudes towards Ai and ask critical questions:

- Should we give Ai agency?

- To what degree are we anthropromorphosizing this technology?

- What would it take for us to accept it as a cohabitant rather than a threat to our species?

- Michiel's work profiling data scientists

- Data is 'knowledge' - should data scientists be gatekeepers?

- Data is binary, gender isn't. Do data scientists factor this into LLM's?
