Summary

Technology reporter Joanna Stern spent the last year using artificial intelligence for nearly everything: healthcare questions, travel, productivity, parenting challenges, customer service, and even an AI-generated romantic companion. In this episode, Joanna joins Mosheh on the podcast to discuss her new book, ⁠I Am Not a Robot⁠, which offers a firsthand look at how AI is reshaping daily life — whether we want it to or not. The conversation covers both the practical benefits and growing concerns around AI’s rapid integration into society: self-driving cars, AI-assisted medicine, and the ways AI is helping entrepreneurs and creators work faster than ever before. But they also discuss some of the biggest questions still ahead: job losses as companies automate entry-level work, parenting in an age of AI-powered toys and companions, and the surprising emotional pull of chatbot relationships amid a growing loneliness crisis. Stern — formerly a senior personal technology columnist at The Wall Street Journal and now the ⁠founder of The New Things tech news website⁠— also breaks down the global race toward artificial general intelligence, the growing backlash against AI companies and CEOs, and why she believes the biggest challenge ahead may be preserving human connection in a world increasingly designed to remove friction from everyday life. You can learn more about Joanna’s work at ⁠The New Things⁠ and find ⁠I Am Not a Robot⁠ wherever you get your books. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.
