Description

In this episode, we continue exploring the groundbreaking insights of Mike Todasco, former PayPal innovator and Visiting Fellow at SDSU’s AI Center. This time, we dive into Todasco’s research on AI detection tools and the profound impact of language in shaping our perception of AI.

🧠 Topics Covered:

• How AI detection tools like Grammarly’s work and their limitations in identifying AI-generated content.
• The psychology of “AI” as a term and why Todasco believes rebranding to “Augmented Intelligence” could shift public perception.
• Real-world applications of augmented intelligence in industries like education, architecture, and healthcare.
• Key challenges like transparency, bias, and accessibility in AI systems.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Words matter: The term “AI” can unintentionally evoke fear and skepticism. A rebrand to “Augmented Intelligence” emphasizes collaboration and human enhancement.
• Transparent and explainable AI systems are essential to building trust and fostering ethical development.
• The future of AI isn’t about replacement but partnership—working together to amplify human creativity and problem-solving.

Join us as we unpack Todasco’s visionary ideas and discuss how we can reshape our understanding of AI to build a more inclusive and equitable technological future.
