Every time you use a face filter, talk to a chatbot, or use auto-suggestions in a search bar, you're interacting with Artificial Intelligence. But as AI becomes more powerful, it’s raising big questions:
Who controls AI? Who decides what it can or can’t do? And what are your rights when AI is making decisions that affect your future?
