In this episode of Know About Everything, we explore how artificial intelligence has evolved from early experiments to one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century. The episode explains the foundations of AI—machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision—and how they power innovations in healthcare, finance, transportation, and even creative arts.

It also highlights the ethical challenges AI brings, from bias and privacy concerns to accountability in autonomous systems. The discussion addresses fears about automation and job loss, while also recognizing the potential of AI to create new opportunities and assist humans rather than replace them.

On a global scale, AI is a driver of competition and cooperation, raising questions about regulation and security. Yet its potential to help solve humanity's biggest problems—climate change, medical breakthroughs, and scientific discovery—offers hope. The episode concludes by emphasizing that the future of AI depends on human choices, reminding us that this technology reflects our intentions and values.
