In addition to computational law, Robert has a keen interest in AI regulation and embedding regulatory objectives and guardrails into AI designs. A transcript of this episode is here.   Additional Resources:The Allure of Addictive Intelligence (article): https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/05/1095600/we-need-to-prepare-for-addictive-intelligence/Robert Mahari (website): https://robertmahari.com/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ObvFU3mjULf0SLmdYk3FTpcNNvu093uaetq4koxhXy4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5ODQ3LzE3MDE4/NzM1NTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
