In episode 70 of The AI Fix, our hosts learn that AI makes people more dishonest, Waymo’s robo-cars save lives but get outsmarted by a bathroom mirror, a “rescue” bot slurps up victims head-first, and China shows off a fusion robot arm that can lift ten elephants (or 200,000 pigeons, if you’re scientific about it).

Meanwhile Graham reveals how AIs are tricked into solving CAPTCHAs with fake mouse wiggles, and Mark explains how OpenAI’s “deliberative alignment” works perfectly – until the AI realises it is being watched.

So, nothing to worry about there then…

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
