The viral demos. AI writing essays, generating photorealistic images, even creating entire videos. But something much more important is happening behind the scenes. AI is solving problems we thought were decades away, curing diseases and inventing new materials. But there’s a paradox.

A must watch is TED-Ed’s, “How Will AI Change the World” • How will AI change the world?
