NEW APPLE BOX TALKS PODCAST: GLADYS TONG

"Some people say AI is not really artificial, it's actually alien. Alien intelligence. It's not something that we know. It's not like a tool that we've seen before. It has a little bit of an agency...it has a different component to it that I think is creating the fear. And I don't think fear is a bad thing."

With credits to her name such as The Last of Us, Deadpool 2, and Star Trek Beyond, we are joined on the Apple Box by industry leader Gladys Tong. Gladys entered the motion picture industry through the phone book — and now works within the intersection of human-computer interaction in the world of film. With a discussion spanning Star Trek, video playback, and the future of AI, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!
