Hear her talk specifically about her research in Appalachia and why she focused on the area. Take a listen as she explains if regulation is needed in AI and what we should think about when thinking about the future of AI in Appalachia and beyond. Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz(s) of the week - the next seven businesses in our countdown to the 25 Days of (and Appalachian Small Business) Christmas!
