Commentary | Eric Peterson: Baffled, scared, yet hopeful about AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading a newspaper or watching TV news can be a jarring, even frightening experience these days. Good news can seem like a far away, long ago myth that a grandparent told us decades ago to help us fall asleep. Today the thought of sleep brings fears of all too realistic nightmares that appear to be a typical day in the neighborhood. The United States is at war. Prices have gone through the roof. Our government is led by a craven, man-child who seemingly spends hours every day focusing on his ba
