Reboot of “AI Helped Produce This Episode"

Few things have been more disruptive and hotly debated this year than AI as 2023 marked the potential tipping point in its mass adoption thanks to the public release of generative AI platforms like ChatGPT. From healthcare, to cybersecurity, to journalism and, now, Hollywood, AI is sending shockwaves through virtually every sector of our economy.

So, it’s a perfect time to highlight an episode of Disruptors, an RBC Podcast, where host John Stackhouse talks with one of Canada’s preeminent AI voices, Professor Ajay Agrawal. Ajay is a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and co-author of “Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence”.

To demonstrate how quickly AI will evolve, many of the predictions on this episode have already come to pass. But some of the most compelling questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on our world have yet to be answered.
