On this edition of Wellbeing, Guy Murphy interviews Professor Michael Breakspear from The University of Newcastle’s School of Science. Professor Breakspear is an internationally recognised leader in computational neuroscience, brain imaging, and translational neurotechnology.
“If we have philanthropic and social enterprise driving with clinicians and carers, consumers, the AI ecosystem, it will be helpful. You know, with legislation, with guardrails as they’re called, with humans in the loop, yes, I think it could be quite helpful. Every generation, we’ve seen technological breakthroughs that can be harnessed to be helpful… You can’t expect AI to cure the human condition, but you know, there’s still enough really good people around that I think on the whole, it will be used beneficially.”
