   Support for this show comes from SAS. It's time to have an honest talk about AI. Not about whether it will replace us, but about how it's becoming easier and easier to outsource our thinking to systems that people just won't understand. Thankfully, SAS has been in data and AI for 50 years, and they believe in a pretty simple idea: AI should be explainable, well-governed, and worthy of trust. Visit sas.com to see how AI should be built for high-stakes decisions, where the cost of getting it wrong is real and human accountability isn't optional. Learn more at sas.com. That's S-A-S.com.

29. BBBrené Brown2:47
