“Every dynamic application requires continuous support because there are so many components that make up a
working software. There must be a system in place to support that.”
Nnamso Anthony

James Rickards
“To the extent that AI mimics human intelligence without being sentient we have to weigh the output against the shortcomings. AI can help to cure certain diseases, but it will also replicate highly dysfunctional behaviors. Developers say they can control for these adverse behaviors. Yet behavioral psychologists themselves don't fully understand them.”
James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy
