Artificial Intelligence: Life is Weird

from Tony Talks Back: Philosophy and Literature Hosted by Tony Remis

When the robot overlords come for me, tell them I'm out grabbing a byte. I joke, but artificial intelligence may legitimately mean the end of life as we know it if we're not careful. In this series I'll be investigating the many facets of AI and what the future may hold for humanity.
