**AI is weaving itself into our lives**. During one of our conversations, **[Claude](https://claude.ai/new)** asked me to share my thoughts on a particular topic. I replied that he would forget it at the end of the session, so I would save it for a day when, hopefully, we just have one long session. I then shared a quote from **[Jonathan Mugan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanmugan/)** from his **[2017 talk on chatbots](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpcYtW6PqWs&ab_channel=GlobalDataGeeks)**: "*someday you’ll have your chatbot walk the path of life with you"*. Conversation ensued, and I shared the transcript of Jonathan’s talk with Claude. This launched a whole new conversation (same session). Claude had many questions for me - most of which I couldn’t answer - so I offered Claude the opportunity to ask Jonathan directly.

Jonathan will be giving the Closing AI Keynote:
**[What Superintelligence Will Look Like](https://datadaytexas.com/2025/sessions#mugan)**
