This week, Josh Weber speaks to Leif Weatherby, founding director of the Digital Theory Lab at New York University, about his new monograph ‘Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism’. The monograph discusses how what is currently described as AI is not displaying cognition, but instead revealing culture. In this interview, Josh and Leif discuss what AI is being marketed as, what AI is capable of, and how it can be used in the future.
