Joanna Stern is not a robot, but she lived with them

Joanna Stern, former Wall Street Journal tech columnist and Verge cofounder, discusses her new book 'I Am Not a Robot' — the result of a year living with AI products in every aspect of her life. Key takeaways: consumer AI interfaces have barely improved despite better models, humanoid robots are far from ready for homes due to massive data gaps, wearable AI shows the most promise for a killer app, and AI companion chatbots pose serious risks especially for younger generations. She also discusses launching New Things, her independent media venture combining YouTube, newsletters, and a partnership with NBC News to reach broader audiences beyond the tech-savvy crowd.
