Technology: Vale Gordon Moore, library in chains, call for pause on AI 

From Nine To Noon, 11:05 am on 30 March 2023

Technology commentator Mark Pesce joins Kathryn to talk about the passing of Gordon Moore, the billionaire philanthropist who co-founded Intel - the company that invented the microprocessor.

He framed 'Moore's Law' in a 1965 article which stated computer chips would increase in density and decrease in cost.

Meanwhile the 'big four' book publishers successful sued the Internet Archive to stop books being scanned and lent for free - but could this go all the way to the supreme court?

And 1000 AI researchers and backers have called for an immediate pause on the creation of "giant" AI for at least six months.

Mark Pesce is a futurist, writer, educator and broadcaster.
