WIT (What I Think) - with Derek Ting - Your edge in Artificial Intelligence

Come on a journey with me to gain from multiple perpectives on Artificial Intelligence so you can learn and form your own opinion of what it is and where it's going. I ask personal and ethical questions to see if those perspectives align with your own. Discard what doesn't work for you, but also absorb the hidden gems. I'm looking to simplify what seems so complex so that I might integrate AI into my life and yours. Who are the people I'm interviewing? I'm in search of hearing from people immersed in AI, the ones who have been successful at using it, teaching it, investing in it.

He argues creators need better education in financial literacy and data ownership, plus systems that reward loyal engagement over vanity metrics.
