White hat, black box: AI’s next chapter
The IntelligenceThe decision of Anthropic, an AI giant, to keep its Mythos model sequestered surely makes for good press. But there seems to be more to it than that—and it might change the whole industry’s approach. Indian politicians are chasing female voters more than ever; we question the means and the outcomes. And next in our World Cup contender-country profiles: Senegal.
Guests and host:
- Alex Hern, AI writer
- Kira Huju, Asia correspondent
- Jon Fasman, senior culture correspondent
- Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”
Topics covered:
- AI, Anthropic, Mythos
- India, women, politics
- World Cup, Senegal
