Some are afraid of it. Others think of it as a useful tool.

“AI is a powerful tool, and in a dream land it will not be used for evil. But if you’ve watched enough movies or looked out your window, there’s plenty of evil going on,” says Shawn Tempesta, a host for 102.7VGS in Las Vegas, Nevada. “To pretend that AI is not going to be a mass extinction event for jobs in this country, be it radio or anything else, you’re fooling yourself.”
