I speak to a lot of people and audiences about the advances in artificial intelligence.

Future Focus: Artificial intelligence is altering the fabric of truth. If you don’t believe me, I invite you to read this story about how thousands of unsuspecting tourists were recently lured to Buckingham Palace in hopes of visiting a magical-looking Christmas Market. This is not the first case of AI deceiving people, and it certainly [...]
