This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 384.

Hey, everybody. This is Jay Baer, President of Convince and Convert, an author of the New York

Times best-selling business book Utility. You are listening to my pal, Jeff Brown, on the Read to Lead podcast.

There is absolutely no doubt that artificial intelligence AI is as hot a topic as it's ever been.

And although we don't have to worry about evil robots rising to power and turning us into pets,

and we probably never will,

artificial intelligence is here to stay and we must learn to separate fact from fiction

and embrace how this amazing technology enhances our world. Hi, I'm Jeff Brown, and you found

the Read to Lead podcast, the podcast dedicated to your personal and professional

growth. I'm here because I believe that if you want to achieve true success in your business

and in your life, that intentional and consistent reading is a must. I'm going to help you

not only narrow your ever-important reading list, but bring you key insights and main ideas from the books

written by some of today's most successful and inspiring authors. Today we'll be joined by

Stephen Schwartz. He's author of the book Evil Robots, Cular Computers, and Other Myths, The

Truth About AI and the future of humanity.

I'll ask Stephen to share about his frustrations with how AI has been covered in the media and in popular culture.

We'll discuss the fears worth having with regard to AI.

We'll dig into the terms AI deception and anthropomorphism and plenty more.

and you come away with just one great idea, that's a great return on investment. That's $20 well

spent. Well, what if you came away with not just one great idea, but several, and you spent
