In a conversation with Mason President Gregory Washington, Cummings is unflinching in her critique of AI’s strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings, as well as that of humans. There is a lot to like about AI, Cummings says, but she calls out bad tech where she sees it, including in the vision systems of self-driving cars and Tesla’s Autopilot. &nbsp;</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="inline_block:feature_image" data-inline-block-uuid="a003e18a-232e-4b66-badc-3315c4c31fa3" class="block block-feature-image block-layout-builder block-inline-blockfeature-image caption-below"> <div class="feature-image"> <div class="narrow-overlaid-image"> <img src="/sites/g/files/yyqcgq291/files/styles/feature_image_medium/public/2023-06/Missy%20Cummings.jpeg?itok=tizYx14W" srcset="/sites/g/files/yyqcgq291/files/styles/feature_image_small/public/2023-06/Missy%20Cummings.jpeg?itok=aIO2wk1P 768w, /sites/g/files/yyqcgq291/files/styles/feature_image_medium/public/2023-06/Missy%20Cummings.jpeg?itok=tizYx14W 1024w, /sites/g/files/yyqcgq291/files/styles/feature_image_large/public/2023-06/Missy%20Cummings.jpeg?itok=nr3goVUS 1280w" sizes="(min-width: 1024px) 80vw,100vw" alt> </div> </div> </div><div data-block-plugin-id="inline_block:text" data-inline-block-uuid="02628cd5-7214-41c8-b970-ea16395c3036" class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktext"> <h2>Listen to this episode</h2> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?from=embed&amp;i=va4qm-1372219-pb&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=1&amp;font-color=auto&amp;rtl=0&amp;logo_link=episode_page&amp;btn-skin=7&amp;size=150" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="Missy Cummings: Artificial intelligence is artificial and not intelligent" width="100%"></iframe></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout__region region-second"> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_associated_people" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-associated-people"> <h2>In This Story</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-associated-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">People Mentioned in This Story</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/profiles/president" hreflang="und">Gregory Washington</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/profiles/cummings" hreflang="en">Missy Cummings</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="inline_block:text" data-inline-block-uuid="c21560e5-1a54-4c62-a833-e493ade4a839" class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktext"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="inline_block:news_list" data-inline-block-uuid="ebbb452b-d2dc-4e5b-a83d-05b01c51debc" class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocknews-list"> <h2>Access to Excellence Podcast Episodes</h2> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-news view-id-news view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-d05e582ba886a409acbc1ffe28a8677146a886eb3ce30e34af68385bd4402bc3"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="news-list-wrapper"> <ul class="news-list"> <li class="news-item"><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><a href="/news/2025-06/podcast-ep-68-future-we-want-one-grand-challenge-six-grand-solutions" hreflang="en">Podcast — EP 68: A Future We Want: One Grand Challenge.
