48:58 - 1:01:34 (12:35)
In this podcast episode, the concept of Lady Lovelace's objection is discussed along with the Imitation Game test meant to show the indistinguishable thinking of humans and machines. They also talk about curiosity and how science sometimes requires funding through mechanisms like technology transfer.
