What happens when you say \u201cHey Google or \u201cAlexa\u201d or when you press the summon button on the Tesla app? How has our society gotten to the point where, as Anna Kendrick said, \u201cIf I touch my phone in the right places, a pizza shows up at my door.\u201d How much of this is artificial intelligence, and how far are we from Isaac Asimov\u2019s Sonny, or at least robot butlers? Join hosts Shanti and Danny as we have a cursory discussion on what even is A.I., how is it being used, and what\u2019s in the future.
