Podcast cover

Nature Podcast

The Nature Podcast presents two main stories related to artificial intelligence. The first segment discusses Delphi2M, an AI system that predicts an individual's risk of developing various diseases by analyzing their health records and comparing them to a large database. The discussion covers its potential uses, limitations, and biases in the training data. The second segment explores how using AI tools may affect human ethics, focusing on a study that suggests AI can make people more likely to cheat, due to increased psychological distance from the immoral act. The podcast concludes with a briefing chat, highlighting Europe's new supercomputer, JUPITER, and research on octopus leg movements for soft robotics applications.
