6:22Now PlayingNeil deGrasse Tyson, co-host Negin Farsad, and guest Jaron Lanier discuss “data dignity,” the idea that AI data comes from human labor and should not be treated as free, invisible, or magical. The main idea is that AI should be understood as a human collaboration, not an independent creature, and that society needs a fair “middle path” between everything being free and software/data becoming impossibly expensive.
