Episode 40: Artificial Intelligence
Many of us have smart devices in our homes. Siri, Alexa, robot vacuums, and more have become a part of our daily lives. They learn our tastes and preferences, our routines... but what if that wasn't where the learning stopped?

We'll discuss that and more as we tackle all things artificial intelligence on this episode of Unspookable.
