b"AI promises an exciting future. The upside is massive. It has the potential to help us solve the most obnoxious problems plaguing humanity. We could see giant leaps forward in medicine, manufacturing, transportation, biotech, agriculture, government, and on and on. No more crappy jobs. Maybe we\\u2019ll even get those flying cars we were promised.\\n\\nBut we have concerns.\\n\\nIt\\u2019s not killer robots that scare us, though that is terrifying.

We\\u2019re afraid of economy-destroying, human value-displacing tech, controlled by a handful of people with all-too-human motives. We are afraid that, if there is a bug -- because there are always bugs -- we won\\u2019t be able patch it before it\\u2019s too late.\\n\\nCan we take a minute to talk this through?\\n\\nWelcome - John Kelleher\\n\\nMarylin Ma: The True Story of AI is Still Being Written\\n\\nJoseph Fung: Working Among the Machines\\n\\nSuzanne Gildert: Ultra-Human-Like Robots - Bringing Science Fiction to Life\\n\\nAli Asaria: The Role of Human Workers in a Post Automation, Post AI World\\n\\nMarcel O'Gorman: AI Beyond Ethics\\n\\nFrancois Gand: Unlocking Communication with AI\\n\\nClosing Remarks - John Kelleher"
