The new chatbot, ChatGPT, has been hailed by some as the end of homework. Like why even learn to write when a chatbot can do it for you? But the stakes are higher than just homework.

Today on the show, we hear from Edward and explore how the AI revolution could reshape everything from education to how we communicate.
