AskDifferent #31 – If you ask Yves Moreau, we are drunk teenagers losing control of the car we are driving – at least when it comes to artificial intelligence. The 2023 Einstein Foundation Individual Award winner studies biomedical DNA data and describes himself as a “concerned scientist.” In this metaphor-packed episode of #AskDifferent, he describes the cultural shift he would like to see regarding the way we deal with artificial intelligence, how he helped push prestigious scientific journals to retract articles, and what the future holds for ethical standards in technological engineering.

The 2023 Individual Award winner, who campaigns for ethical standards in the use of human DNA data in research, talks about unethical data gathering in China on the BBC's Science in Action programme from 7'56" to 15'22". 

AskDifferent #27 – What is going on in babies' minds? What do they think and feel? Jessica Kosie and Martin Zettersten are not only looking for answers to these questions - they are cooperating with more than 200 scientists in 40 countries to define the fundamentals needed to establish research globally. The challenges they face are not easy to solve: Since babies are unable to speak, they cannot answer our questions directly. In this episode of #AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation Award 2021 winners talk about finding ways around that obstacle, what we can learn from studying babies' attention, their gazes and preferences, and how parents and adults can benefit from that knowledge.
