As Texas has become the Wild West for data centers, Texas Standard is exploring what all that infrastructure is fueling by digging into the possibilities and anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence.
We’ll explore the life-changing promises AI offers people with disabilities, and we’ll weigh that against overwhelming privacy concerns. We’ll take you into a robotics lab where researchers are still falling short of replicating the human body. And we’ll ask whether artificial intelligence is — or could be — conscious.
AI development is moving quickly, and the outlook will be different tomorrow than it is right now.
The New Wild West: Texans on the AI Frontier aims to capture an important moment in Texas — and human — history when we’re grappling with how to responsibly use technology with untold possibilities while still prioritizing people.
