What’s Possible — AI in Alabama
Every so often, a new technology arises that transforms everything it touches. It fundamentally alters how we relate to each other and the world around us. Right now, the technology with that potential is artificial intelligence.
On What’s Possible – AI in Alabama, a locally-produced special by WBHM, we dive into a conversation about what AI means for the state. In what ways is AI already changing how we do things? How might it affect business, medicine and everyday life? And what dangers lie ahead with AI?

Jackey Gong – Director for the Alabama Center for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Alabama
Ritchie Kruunenberg – Vice President of Strategy & Startup Growth at Innovation Depot
Matt Might – Director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham
