Will you send an AI twin to work for you?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI twins in the workplace and recent developments at Apple and Meta.

Imagine an AI model built on everything you know, how you communicate, how you reason, how you write, trained to act and respond like you so thoroughly that it can attend meetings, answer questions, and handle tasks on your behalf while you do something else entirely. This reality isn't as far away as you might think . Mark Zuckerberg is already making one. Plus, Apple has a new CEO . What does the handover mean for the future of Apple? And, Meta has installed tracking software to harvest their employee's computer activity to train AI . What protections do workers have against it? GUESTS: Georgia Dixon -- Managing Editor at Whistleout Singapore . Chris Berg -- Professor of Economics at RMIT . ------------ This episode was produced on the lands of the Burramattagal people. ------------ Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!
