This week we discuss Evi, from Hume AI.  Evi is the "first" emotionally intelligent AI assistant or companion.   We also discuss the growing state of surveillance as entities as varied as Sam's Club or the Departement of Homeland Security embrace AI to "help." We also talk about deepfakes and how vulnerable kids are at the hands of deepfakes.  Lastly, we highlight an interview with Nick Bostrom about his new book detailing our Utopic AI future.
