David and I met here in Lake Nona about three years ago and it is an honor to have him as a guest. We discussed the topic of learning in the age of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, with special emphasis on the role of AI in Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality. At a time where many are concerned about the jobs that may disappear as a result of AI, we discuss the other side of that coin, which is, the opportunities that are and will be available as the technology evolves. I truly hope you enjoy this conversation
