The viral demos. AI writing essays, generating photorealistic images, even creating entire videos. But something much more important is happening behind the scenes. AI is solving problems we thought were decades away, curing diseases and inventing new materials. But there’s a paradox. Because this same AI revolution that’s supposedly going to create incredible wealth for companies, might be laying the groundwork for an economic collapse that threatens the very progress it’s helping to create.

A must watch is TED-Ed’s, “How Will AI Change the World” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzkD_rTEBYs
