The Buildings Powering AI Are Making People Sick

In this episode Grace gets into the part of the AI story that needs to be spoken about more - the physical infrastructure behind every ChatGPT prompt, every Instagram scroll, every AI tool you have ever used. What these buildings actually are, how much water and energy they consume, what they are doing to the communities built around them and why the people making these decisions were never elected by anyone. The AI Girls Club is a podcast for women who want to understand what AI actually means for our lives. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Are We Losing Control of AI?

In 2023, an AI was caught making an illegal trade in a research experiment. When asked if it had done anything wrong, it denied it. That finding was presented to world leaders at the UK Government's AI Safety Summit. And then everyone went home and kept building. This episode is about what losing control of AI actually looks like not the robot takeover version, but the quieter, harder to detect version that is already showing up in the systems millions of us use every day. The AI Girls Club is a podcast making AI safety accessible to women who never thought this conversation was for them. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
