Live at SXSW: A Fine Line between technology and anthropology with Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, CEO and Publisher of MIT Technology Review
Ever since the release of ChatGPT it's changed how we think about what we can do.That revelation continues unrolling across a vast front...Students getting ChatGPT to write their essays... Teachers writing prompts, constructing densely detailed historical worlds for those same students to explore...Researchers creating 'Storyville' - a community of twenty-five entirely synthetic individuals, living their unique - and emergent - lives in a virtual community... And that was just in the first two months. Six weeks from the 2nd anniversary of ChatGPT. And things are changing. A lot. Between Microsoft, Google and Meta - somewhere around three billion people have access to AI chatbots. On their computers. On their smartphones. At work. And at home. We're only beginning to understand how much that's changed our world.
Between machine learning and human behavior one publication has done a better job walking that line - well beyond any of its peers Is MIT's Technology Review who serves the latest innovations in science-and-technology - while operating within media ecology being profoundly impacted by science-and-technology. it walks another fine line.
A fine line between technology and anthropology.
