AI: Navigating Trust, Data Risks, and the Future with Rick Alonzo

Andy Murphy hosts a high-level conversation with Rick Alonzo (Rickonomics), a former US Army intelligence analyst and strategic business intelligence founder, about how AI is reshaping society, business, and parenting.

They discuss the post-honeymoon reality of AI adoption, trust and terms-of-service risks, and how data collection, especially through consumer tech and AI-enabled toys, can affect families, including teens using AI for companionship. They cover the importance of human judgment, humility, skepticism, and real-world social bonds, plus emerging threats like attackers manipulating AI/SEO results and hyper-personalized outputs.
