In rooms across the world - kitchens, board rooms, conferences - people are asking questions about AI. Today, we hope to answer some of those questions by bringing you professionals who are researching, teaching and implementing AI in their roles. Our guests are Raj Sharma, EY Global Managing Partner for Growth and Innovation, and Rebecca Winthrop, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. Raj and Rebecca are some of the best people to help educate us about AI.
