Very disturbing! especially the segment towards the end on how Artificial Intelligence is devastating middle class manufacturing union and non-union workers in the Rust Belt States.Trump keeps lying about the fact that manufacturing jobs are being shipped offshore. Yep maybe at one time, but now its all about Automation and A.I.

On a positive note.. A.I. will have a tremendous effect on our ability to cure devastating diseases.. The part on Breast Cancer was eye-opening.

In The Age of A.I..

AI is also revolutionizing life as we know it. It’s another world game changer and it’s here to stay whether we like it or not.

It’ll be gut wrenching but very interesting to see how it changes life.

Sooner or later they’re going to have to deal with human beings as consumers. If you don’t have a job who’s going to buy anything? Corporations aren’t even thinking about that. They’re painting themselves into a corner.

If people don’t have jobs it won’t take long for tax revenues to shrink and for consumers to stop consuming. What then? What will the government do?
