Janelle and Joël talk with UC Davis professor Zhou Yu, who led Team Gunrock to win first place in the 2018 Alexa Socialbot Grand Challenge. They touch on the meaning of artificial intelligence, diversity and ethics in technology, how Professor Yu won the challenge, and whether AI will love or kill us first.

In our pilot episode, we talk about imposter syndrome, which is a common feeling among students, especially in computer science.

Note that this episode was first published at the end of Spring 2019.
