AI Tools, Not Gods
About this episode
Caroline De Cock discusses the myths surrounding artificial intelligence and advocates for a more evidence-based understanding of AI as human-built tools.
In AI Tools, Not Gods , policy researcher Caroline De Cock examines how myths about artificial intelligence—framing it as an all-knowing mind or an unstoppable force—have come to shape public policy and public understanding. By unpacking the narratives that dominate conversations about AI, De Cock argues for a clearer, evidence-based approach that recognizes AI for what it is: a set of human-built tools that must be governed with accountability and care. Tech writer Glyn Moody ( Walled Culture ) speaks with De Cock about cutting through the hype surrounding AI.
