Is AI the Great Equalizer or the Great Deceiver With Rachel Miles
What you don’t know about artificial intelligence (AI) can really harm you (and your health). Considering there’s so much misinformation everywhere you look and AI is a real thing you can’t avoid, managing your digital footprint is vital… so where do you begin?
Tech consultant and UX researcher Rachel Miles returns to dissect the pros and cons of AI and how it can be a valuable tool so long as you use it properly this week on Spirit Gym.
