Ep. 115 - AI, or Technology and Empathy
In this episode we begin with a discussion on the use of AI price algorithms as a new form of price fixing by major real estate holding companies. In a case like this, who is to be held accountable? Does culpability even make sense when our system is driven exclusively by profit, when it seems to be operating as intended? Will AI allow business practices to rid themselves of the last vestiges of empathy, or are we already there?
