A Pew Research Report reveals that around a quarter of American adults use AI chatbots or other artificial intelligence tools on a daily basis – not to commit cybercrimes or unleash a biological weapon. Still, some wonder if AI is moving too fast for its own good – and ours. David Townsend is a professor of entrepreneurship in the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech. He likes how a Stanford professor compared AI to electricity – as in something we rely on everyday. There’s also a debate now about how much if at all the federal government should be involved in crafting legislation for Artificial Intelligence – or let the industry police itself, putting safety protocols in place to prevent runaway AI agents. Townsend also says AI should not be viewed through the lens of nuclear fallout – or biological annihilation, rather, as technology designed for human augmentation – and not human replacement. WFIR’s Gene Marrano has that story:
