AI: It AI-n't What You Think!

Innovations have transformed human lives, in ways that we can't imagine how people survived before. Yet, we do not embrace innovations readily and we shouldn't in most cases. Our time in this world is juxtaposed with yet another major innovation in our field. Is AI going to take over the world, our jobs, our way of life...and more are questions that are asked frequently these days.
