In this interesting talk, Dr. Evan Steeg joins us to chat about the fast progress and the right and wrong parts of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Dr. Steeg knows a lot about AI and has worked with it for a long time. He talks about how AI is becoming more common, the dangers it might bring, and why it's important to use it responsibly. He says that while AI can help people and businesses a lot, we need to be careful with things like privacy and making sure it's fair for everyone. We talk about how AI can be used in creative tasks and in business, and also about the tricky problems we need to solve.

Dr. Steeg believes that even as we use more AI, it's important to keep human values in mind.
