Hi Barack, Greetings from the Emerald Isle.

Big thank you for sharing your views via the medium forum. It's amazing that you have taken the time to participate in social discourse in such an open and accessible manner.

Really enjoyed your article on AI & thanks for sharing the sources; articles, blogs etc that help contextualize your perspective on the topic.

I particularly enjoyed the article "From darkroom to Generative AI", which is timely given the recent New York Times legal stance with their content being used for GenAI training.

I wrote an article recently entitled "The great AI debate!", https://medium.com/p/adab1b721ca5

which tries to provoke the reader to contrast how early society harnessed the potential of fire and how we are currently trying to manage the potential AI offers. It's a lighthearted read which you might find informative.

The next time I travel from the West Of Ireland to Dublin and stop off in "Barack Obama plaza" I'll smile to myself and ponder how amazing it is to be able to converse with a US president in such a manner.

Thanks again Barack and keep on sharing your views.

Regards Colin . . .
