In this episode, we look at the global aspects of AI and the implications of generalized AI in enterprise settings. Our guest Chris Boos is an AI entrepreneur, angel investor, and advisor to the German government on the implications of digital technology.

Among other things we discuss:

- Why does general AI matter, especially to larger companies and why are they so focused on narrow AI?

- What’s the difference between Machine learning and AI?

- Why do data and knowledge need to have clear ownership and should, by default, be with the source, not the collector?

- How can AI be applied in a corporate world to make a difference and not to just gain minor efficiencies?

- How is AI relevant in the international markets and international strategies of companies as well as governments?

- Is AI the last invention of mankind?
