AI is going to make you the smartest you’ve ever been if you take the parts that are not natural to the human brain…but get the AI to do the work so you do the intelligence.” – Mo Gawdat, author, podcaster and former tech executive who focuses on the implications of rapid AI development.
Twenty years after graduating high school, I attended the University of Georgia with the goal of becoming a high school English teacher so I could teach students to become better communicators.
