And on a somewhat more serious note, should we fear that AI is coming for all our jobs?

In this riveting conversation, co-hosts Rovy Branon, University of Washington Continuum College Vice Provost, and Hanson Hosein, co-founder of the University of Washington Communication Leadership program, talk with guests Elizabeth Scallon, Director and Lead of Incubation Enablement at HP and co-founder of Find Ventures, and Kence Anderson, Director of Autonomous AI Adoption at Microsoft.

Some of the questions the teams tackle include...

We're more engaged with brands, thanks to new tech (NFTs at Starbucks!?), but is it business as usual? 

What are the implications of AI, Web3, biomedical advances, etc., as we live longer lives?

How will our kids' lives differ from ours, and how do we prepare them for the new reality they'll inhabit, if we even can?

As AI becomes even more sophisticated, how will our perception of the meaning of "life" change with it?

And perhaps most important of all: how do we ensure equitable access to new technologies and the education it will take to use and benefit from them?
