Imagine a world where AI allows you to have a conversation with someone like #AlbertEinstein, or anyone else you’ve ever dreamed of talking to but never had the chance to. Sounds extraordinary, doesn’t it? AI has made such scenarios possible, opening doors to unprecedented levels of i̳n̳t̳e̳r̳a̳c̳t̳i̳o̳n̳,̳ k̳n̳o̳w̳l̳e̳d̳g̳e̳ ̳s̳h̳a̳r̳i̳n̳g̳,̳ a̳n̳d̳ ̳c̳r̳e̳a̳t̳i̳v̳i̳t̳y̳. Raymond Aaron got his chance to “talk” to Einstein, and it’s fascinating to hear the possibilities this kind of technology creates. Listen here: [https://lnkd.in/dj-iNeJU].

But when I think about it, I’m reminded of the immense responsibility that comes with such power. Tools like large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI that can mimic or emulate human-like conversations are not just technological marvels-they are also profound ethical challenges. While these advances are…
