Digital Minions Reloaded: AI’s Double-Edged Sword

Description:

‘Digital Minions’ are back after last year's 1200-person rush for 200 seats. Buckle up as we dive into the AI tsunami reshaping our world!
We'll tackle 'AI-vangelism', the mind-bending 'botterfly effect', and the burning question: can AI outsmart its creators?
What happens when silicon-brained assistants run our lives? Spoiler: It's not all robot butlers and flying cars.
From hilarious AI fails to jaw-dropping breakthroughs (and nightmares), these stories will captivate you. Skeptic or super-fan, you'll leave with a new perspective and a roadmap for navigating our algorithm-driven future.
