    The Puzzle of AI Ethics with Dr. Cansu Canca
    Jun 25 2025

    You’ve heard of the attention economy, but what about the intention economy? Rather than competing for consumers’ attention, our devices are now attempting to predict our purchasing patterns through AI. And who better to discuss that issue than Dr. Cansu Canca, a leading expert in AI ethics and founder of the AI Ethics Lab? She joins Senior Producer, Teresa Carey, to discuss this shift in how we use technology. Sam also digs into a concept called reverse bedtime procrastination and why it’s keeping us from getting a good night’s sleep. And finally, Sam investigates the ins and outs of the Dance Your PhD contest.

Love the chemistry between friends Calli and Nate whom are the hosts, Also, them going over and discussing current science topics.

While due to format, they don't go in depth on the topics, it is a great way to get enough about new topics to decide if you want to find out more.

Much more entertaining and enjoyable than trying to go alone to find interesting science topics!

It's almost like you're just sitting down with friends and discussing the topics.

Quick way to find out about new things in science
