Good choices 3

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Revolutions sweep the earth periodically - speaking of technology, not politics. There was the agricultural revolution thousands of years ago (domesticating plants and animals), the industrial revolution, the information revolution - and Jay Richards says that we're in the midst of another one right now. 

The core of this revolution is artificial intelligence.  It's expanding much faster than any of the other revolutions did and it's changing almost everything. AI will not only take over many labor jobs, but also "white collar" jobs: even writing and medical diagnosis. 

Dr. John Lennox, theoretical mathematician at Oxford University, asks "Should we fear artificial intelligence?"  Starting at 18:25, he explains in plain language what AI is and is not. He also answers, "how can AI make a medical diagnosis?" and "how can AI interview you for a job?"
