As a seasoned cinephile with decades of immersion in the world of technology and its ever-evolving impact on our lives, I find Oprah Winfrey’s upcoming primetime special, “AI and the Future of Us: An Oprah Winfrey Special,” to be an intriguing and timely event. With a career spanning multiple fields, including media, education, and technology, Oprah is uniquely positioned to navigate this complex topic with both authority and empathy.
