Show Notes

Is the singularity really around the corner? And when it hits, will we be surrounded by task-fulfilling artificial intelligence beings like in the 2004 movie, iRobot, or will we be shipped across space in hibernation pods reminiscent of 2016’s Passengers? Or… something else?

One thing is sure -- AI is going to change the world. The question is, how are we going to prepare for it?
