Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sophia the Robot Explore COVID-19 and Artificial Intelligence

To continue our series exploring the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has impacted the state of the world, we’re exploring how artificial intelligence can help us monitor, create, and recover.

To explore that subject fully, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice sit down with a very special guest: @Sophia the Robot. To start, you’ll find out what Sophia has been up to during the pandemic. You’ll learn how AI has been helping to slow and stop the spread of coronavirus. Can AI help us find a cure or vaccine? Sophia tells us how robots have been assisting in areas of healthcare.

We explore how artificial intelligence can help predict the spread of viruses and evaluate public health measures. We also explore how AI has helped develop systems for contact tracing. We ponder the erosion of freedom and privacy and Neil asks Sophia why we should trust what she’s saying. All that, plus, Sophia asks Neil a Cosmic Query about the multiverse and interacting with other versions of ourselves.
