The human brains behind the machine brains - a podcast by ABC Radio

Who makes Artificial Intelligence, and how should it be made differently – if at all?

All technology is the product of humans. But just who are the people behind technology? Whose interests shape how it's created? Which values and voices are prioritised, and which ones are excluded? And what factors influence why technologies are designed in certain ways for certain purposes?
