In the Vox podcast In a Nutshell, hosts Jara Majerus and Antonia Leise take a deep dive into the university's most interesting, strange, and exciting research. Every two weeks, they invite Radboud researchers to talk about their favourite topics – explained in bite-sized episodes. In the second episode of the AI special, Antonia talks with Pim Haselager about the future of Artificial Intelligence.

AI seems to have come to stay, but what does the future of artificial intelligence hold? And why is it perhaps one of the most penetrating technologies since the development of language?

In the second part of the AI special, we take a look at the future of AI. Together with Pim Haselager, Antonia talks about how AI might change as a technology – and how humans will likely too. Will reading lose its importance? Can (and should) you generate ideas with the help of artificial intelligence? And how is AI changing the relationship we have to ourselves?

Pim Haselager is a professor of artificial intelligence and a principal investigator at the Donder’s Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.

This episode is part of a two-part special on Artificial Intelligence. Make sure to also have a look at the first episode of the series about the past and present of AI – and the next Vox magazine on Artificial Intelligence, featuring an interview with Pim Haselager.
