Most Americans who are not in the entertainment, publishing or tech business may not really understand the ramifications of AI, Artificial Intelligence, in their daily lives, both personally and professionally. It would be wise to listen to this episode of “Speak Out! Or We’ll Do It For You” so you can learn how to safeguard yourself in the world of computer systems that are becoming more proficient in visual and audio perception, speech recognition, decision-making and translation between languages.
