Description

This week we're guested by Helsinki based Olof Hoverfält works as strategy & business design consultant at technology company Reaktor. Olof has made a name for himself as a writer and public speaker with expertise in artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Olof talks about:

• How AI is used when facing problems we’ve never encountered before. 
• The mystery of how machines learn to identify objects.
• How children and algorithms tend to just identify processes, even though we don’t know exactly how.
• The bias issue of AI.
• The complexity of creating language models, and the simplicity of applying them. 
• How popular culture affects AI and vice versa. 
• The myth of machines and AI taking human jobs. 
• Can AI be creative, or is that a uniquely human trait?

The Scandinavian Mind podcast is a bi-weekly show, about the intersection of lifestyle and technology. Every Wednesday, we publish an in-depth interview with an innovator from the worlds of design, fashion, beauty, mobility or tech. And every Friday, we publish a panel talk or other behind the scenes content from the world of Scandinavian MIND.
