 Dj and Lauren Fotsch have worked with the likes of  @Apple ,  @Netflix ,  @Samsung , and  @humane . 

We covered a variety of topics from marketing to family life, forensic failure analysis to artificial intelligence. The topic of Ai really stuck with us... why do we fear Ai? Could we think of it as a benevolent "Assistive Intelligence" as opposed to a malevolent "Artificial Intelligence? ...and whats the difference? 

Here's what we came up with... 

Assistive intelligence: AI systems specifically designed to augment human abilities, providing support in tasks like decision-making, problem-solving, or daily activities without replacing human involvement. It is often collaborative, working alongside humans to enhance productivity and improve accessibility. 

Artificial intelligence: a broader range of technologies focused on replicating human-like cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning, and self-improvement, potentially functioning independently of human input. While assistive intelligence enhances human capability, general AI aims at creating autonomous systems that can perform tasks without human assistance.
