There are No Girls on the Internet as a production of IHeart Radio and Unbossed Creative.

I'm Bridget Todd, and this is There Are No Girls on the Internet.

I'm hosting a new season of Mozilla's podcast, IRL. Online life is real life. You might actually

know Mozilla. They make the web browser Firefox. This season of IRL is all about AI, specifically

the people who make AI, and how important it is to put people above profit when it comes to AI. Now, it's really easy

to think of AI as just computer brains and robots, but it's built and trained by people. And as much

as we talk about making sure AI is ethical and equitable after it's been built and is out in the

world, we should also remember the people who build it

from the very beginning too. It's something really important that I think gets overlooked in conversations

about AI, turning the people responsible for making it into a kind of invisible human workforce.

But they shouldn't be invisible. We should listen to them when they speak up about this technology and how it's going to shape

all of our lives.

So I wanted to share the very first episode of this new season of IRL with you all here.

This one is all about the risks and reward of AI technology like ChatGPT being open source,

that is, built in a way that allows anyone to inspect, modify, and enhance its code on their own.

So let me know what you think.

And if you enjoy it, please subscribe to IRL.

So the first thing I ever asked ChatGPT wasn't work-related at all.

It was actually for help drafting kind of a tough personal email I had to send.

I was having trouble finding the right words, the right tone.

So I asked chat GPT, and I was amazed it actually produced something that I might say.
