Will Plutocrats be the first to mine in space? Not really artificial, not especially intelligent and ’On that farm he had robots, with a bot bot here and a bot bot there.’

This week Smera and Jonah go outer space to discuss mineral sourcing, they explore how the terms we use to describe machine learning, need to be properly understood and they ask if AI in agriculture is a muddy step in the right direction.

Too long didn't read, brought to you by The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and AI.

The weekly podcast that reads the week's big AI stories so you don't have to.

With new developments in artificial intelligence happening at lightning speed, it can be hard to keep up. That's where too long didn't read comes in. We know you're busy, so we'll get right to the main points on how breakthroughs in machine learning, neural networks, and other AI systems could impact your life. No AI degree required! We're not here for hype or fear mongering. Just balanced coverage to keep you up-to-date. Think of us as your shortcut to AI literacy.

Join us as we read between the lines on artificial intelligence every week right here on too long didn't read.
