To break it all down, NTD speaks with Craig W. Stanfill, an AI pioneer and software entrepreneur who received a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence from the University of Maryland in 1983, and he's the author of "Carbon Zero: An AI Dystopia Novel," a gripping new thriller that explores what could happen when a powerful AI designed to save the planet spirals out of control.
