Nell Watson is the most insightful person I've spoken to on where A.I. is going in the coming decades and how it will overhaul our lives. In today's mind-bending episode, she conveys these insights with amusing analogies and clever literary references.

This sensational guest, Nell:
• Is IEEE — the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ — A.I. Ethics Certification Maestro, a role in which she engineers mechanisms into A.I. systems in order to safeguard trust and safety in algorithms.
• Also works for Apple as an Executive Consultant on philosophical matters related to machine ethics and machine intelligence.
• Is President of EURAIO - European Responsible Artificial Intelligence Office.
• Is renowned and sought-after as a public speaker, including at venerable venues like The World Bank and the United Nations General Assembly.
• On top of all that, she’s currently wrapping up a PhD in Engineering from the University of Gloucestershire in the UK.

Today’s episode covers rich philosophical issues that will be of great interest to hands-on data science practitioners but the content should be accessible to anyone. And I do highly recommend that everyone give this extraordinary episode a listen.

In this episode, Nell details:
• The distinct, and potentially dangerous, new phase of A.I. capabilities that our society is stumbling forward into.
• How you yourself can contribute to IEEE A.I. standards that can offset A.I. risks.
• How we together can craft regulations and policies to make the most of A.I.’s potential, thereby unleashing a fast-moving second renaissance and potentially bringing about a utopia in our lifetimes.
