Technology Humanity Trust – Episode 15

Take two. Whew. We are human and, therefore, imperfect. If there is ever a behind-the-scenes documentary, it will miss many episodes that never were published for various reasons.

Corporate announcements and brochures proclaim the benefits of new technology. They might be right. They might also be sales pitches emphasizing profit regardless of utility. But, would you complain about AI if it found you a job?
