Description
AI hysteria is everywhere—but are we afraid of the wrong thing?
In this episode of Egotastic FunTime, JP looks past killer-robot headlines to the real risks and real promise of artificial intelligence. From AI deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, job automation, misinformation, and cybercrime to breakthroughs in medicine, protein research, weather forecasting, and science, AI is already changing the world.
The bigger question is not simply whether artificial intelligence is dangerous. It’s whether people, companies, and governments will use this powerful technology responsibly—and who is accountable when it causes harm.
Are you excited about AI, afraid of it, or somewhere in the messy middle? Tell me in the comments.
