Life, Automated

Life, Automated explores how AI and automation are reshaping everyday life–how we work, learn, communicate, and make decisions–through conversations with researchers, practitioners, artists, and other unexpected experts. Each episode is built around a single, accessible question. How quickly will AI take over our jobs? How concerned should we really be about AI’s impact on the climate? And, why the heck are we forming emotional attachments to chatbots? Life, Automated is grounded and non-ideological, aiming to move beyond both hype and alarmism to help listeners better understand the future we’re collectively creating. Host Jess Love is a science writer with a PhD in cognitive psychology and is the Sr. Director for the Ryan Institute on Complexity at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
