On today's show...

We're diving into the ways artificial intelligence could reshape our daily lives.

Robert Wachter, M.D., is author of the bestselling "The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine's Computer Age."

He spoke with Lori Walsh in April about how AI could transform the nature of clinical care. What tasks can your doctor hand off to a computer program, and what needs to stay in human hands?

We then sit in on a tech talk roundtable. Amos Aesoph is chief security officer for Xigent Solutions in Sioux Falls. Jeff Litterick is a network and security architect for the state of South Dakota.

They walk listeners through the general risks and impacts of artificial intelligence. Also, is TikTok doing more than serving up cat videos? Is it spying on you?

Plus, we'll revisit the full conversation Lori shared with artist Walter Portz. His spring exhibition used technology and artificial intelligence as a collaborative partner to create art.
