About this episode

Today, I interviewed George Montañez, and our discussion was fascinating! George obtained his PhD in machine learning from Carnegie Mellon University and went on to work as a data scientist at Microsoft. He is now an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. We cover topics including how AI is pushing humans away from lower class jobs and toward higher level skills, how AI is designed to manipulate people into continued AI dependence, how AI is far inferior to a human, what the most essential life skills are, and so much more! Watch the full episode for the full benefit!
