Description
This narration explores a set of practical, human questions about the technologies shaping the next decades—especially artificial intelligence. It holds two truths at once: innovation can bring extraordinary benefits, and it can also introduce new risks when power, profit, and speed outrun safety, fairness, and accountability.
Across eight chapters, the listener is guided through how modern AI learns, why deep fakes and digital manipulation matter, what language models can and cannot do, and how privacy, robotics, and automation may reshape daily life and work. The tone stays grounded and supportive, with a steady emphasis on what everyday people can do: ask better questions, choose wisely, and advocate for technology that serves the public good.
