#23: Is AI Good or Evil?
June 23, 2026
In this episode of Modern Logic for Your Business, Dustin Bruzenak and Andy Rahn explore one of the most common questions surrounding artificial intelligence: is AI helping society, hurting society, or both? Inspired by a conversation between Jon Stewart and MIT economists David Autor and Daron Acemoglu, they examine how AI compares to previous technological revolutions, why job disruption is real, and what lessons we can learn from the Industrial Revolution as knowledge work begins to change.
The discussion also tackles AI backlash, energy consumption, public policy, workforce retraining, and the role businesses can play in helping people adapt. Rather than viewing AI as inherently good or evil, Dustin and Andy argue for a more nuanced conversation focused on practical solutions, thoughtful regulation, and helping more people benefit from the opportunities AI creates.
