NOVA “A.I. Revolution”- Alexander Amini, Ph.D.
With the rise of ChatGPT, the world has been transfixed by the power and potential of the latest generation of A.I.’s ability to answer complex questions, write essays, and generate realistic-looking images — even pass a lawyer’s bar exam — all in a matter of seconds. Emmy and Peabody Award-winning correspondent Miles O’Brien meets scientists using the latest algorithms to accelerate discovery in fields from medicine to climate change — some even using A.I. to build O’Brien a new robotic arm — and explores how humanity can avoid the worst potential impacts of powerful technologies that in some ways we don’t fully understand.
• Alexander Amini, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)
• Julia Cort, series co-executive producer
• Petrina Kamya, Ph.D., head of A.I. platforms, Insilico Medicine
• Miles O’Brien, correspondent
