About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of measuring the impact of AI on human wellbeing rather than just its capabilities.

With AI, what gets measured gets optimized. Right now, that's AI capability, not human wellbeing. In this episode, Aza Raskin talks with researchers Imran Khan & Jared Moore about Humane Evals: CHT's push to measure what AI does to us, not just what it can do.
