Episode 76 features an expert in Artificial Intelligence, Peter Haas. Artificial intelligence and machine learning impact everyone's life in some way. In some cases, the negatives can outweigh the positives. How can we change the way AI is implemented to work for us, not against us? Furthermore, AI is ruthlessly efficient and will continue replacing jobs in nearly every sector. How can we adapt to this coming change? Frankly, the next decade may prove AI to be a very real threat in ways you might not have imagined.
