It seems like all we hear about lately is A.I. and the implications it has for industries across the board. But what are the true implications of this once-in-a-lifetime technology when it comes not only to industry, but geopolitical situations and conflicts? My guest, Sean Gourley has made it a personal goal to learn all he can about A.I. and the ways it can be used (for good or bad) to help or harm the human race.
