Today's episode features a raw discussion with Derek Crager about the value of AI in human society. Derek Crager is a tech founder, an AI thought leader, and author of the upcoming book "Human First AI." Derek and I consider what AI excels at doing for humans, how humans can co-create with AI effectively, and why a printer telling you about its broken parts would be creepy.
