    Bill Gates is warning about the potential dangers of AI, but how worried should we actually be? Steve and Kristin discuss everything from job losses and corporate responsibility to some of the much scarier possibilities being raised by people inside the technology industry. They also ask whether tech companies can responsibly regulate themselves — and whether the government can possibly keep up. AI is already part of everyday life. The bigger question is where it goes from here.
