From President's Weekly Perspective (March 31, 2025):
AI: It’s Here, It’s Evolving, and It’s (Probably) Not Rocket Science
In the latest episode of It’s (Probably) Not Rocket Science, UNM’s own Leo Lo dives into how AI is quietly shaping our daily lives—from iPhones to spreadsheets—often without us even noticing. With 450 million monthly users on ChatGPT and global debates around AI regulation heating up, this week’s episode, "Keeping up with Artifical Intelligence," explores the risks, rewards, and what Artificial General Intelligence could mean for the future. Dean Lo’s take? AI might free us from some of the boring stuff, so we can focus on what matters most. It’s (Probably) Not Rocket Science is available wherever you get your podcasts.
