Transformator podcast discusses autonomous cars and ChatGPT ads

The Transformator podcast from Ingeniøren discusses several recent technological and scientific developments, including the current limitations of autonomous vehicles. While media often portrays driverless cars as fully independent, the report notes that many systems still rely on remote human operators to function.

In the realm of artificial intelligence, the podcast addresses OpenAI's introduction of advertisements into ChatGPT. Despite CEO Sam Altman's previous statements regarding his dislike of advertising, the company claims these additions will not influence the model's responses, though concerns remain regarding the transparency of the algorithm's 'black box'.

Additionally, the discussion covers a significant issue in forensic science where a failed data migration resulted in the loss of codes for tens of thousands of fingerprints, potentially hindering criminal investigations.
