Greg and Dan talk with Ken Zurski, traffic reporter for WMBD, about the recent NBC4 news helicopter crash in Los Angeles, which killed aerial journalist Eliana Moreno, pilot George Marciniw, and a person on the ground. He explains how hearing about the tragedy immediately brought back memories of his own experience surviving a small plane crash many years ago after the aircraft’s engine quit. He recalls what happened in those frightening moments, what ultimately saved him, and how that experience shaped his perspective on aviation safety. Ken also discusses some of the differences between airplanes and helicopters during an emergency and why the recent tragedy brought those memories flooding back.

Greg and Dan talk with Dave Johnson of Pearl Technology about the growing amount of fear and misinformation surrounding artificial intelligence and why, despite everyone seeming to have an answer about AI, those answers are not always accurate. He addresses alarming claims that AI is “evil” or actively plotting to harm humans, explaining why attributing human characteristics such as morality, intent, or malice to today’s AI can create a misleading picture of the technology. He discusses where AI actually stands today, the concept of recursive self-improvement and what increasingly rapid advances could mean moving forward. He also talks about growing anxiety surrounding AI, concerns involving China and the global AI race, and the important distinction between AI and artificial general intelligence, or AGI. He also previews an upcoming AI-focused event at the Peoria Riverfront Museum on Monday, September 28 from noon–5 p.m., designed to bring people together to better understand the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence and what its advancement could mean for the future.
