from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Artificial Intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent every day. From self driving cars to machines that solve logic puzzles, AI can be a very good thing for society. But there is always that nagging worry of disaster scenarios we see depicted in books and movies where computers and machines overtake humanity.

We asked Dr. Edward Kim, an artificial intelligence researcher and Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Drexel University.
