Tom Gruber presented this speech to promote his new technology advancement, AI, that is used to work with humans in order to benefit them. Gruber was the co-creator of Siri and states "is now creating better" with the AI. The Al works by both collaborating and also augmenting with people in order to cause enhancements. Gruber uses pathos to promote when explaining a story about a young blind and quadriplegic man that uses the Al to help him with all of his online needs and even talk to his newly found girlfriend, or as he stated it "his first true love". This was meant to show that this new creation is not only used for professional purposes, but also helps those in need that are looking or help. He also used the aspect of pathos when he was presenting how the AI is able to work as a classifier in labs and look at a cell group to see if they were cancerous. The Al has already saved thousands with this new form of research and is on the come up to help cancer research even stronger. Gruber did a very fine job in keeping the audience engaged by showing them and explaining all the ways the Al is beneficial in many aspects in the world.

This speech relates to the video My Reality due to the fact that it explains how people are struggling with minimum wage paying jobs, while this new technology is taking away even more jobs from the work force. Many cancer research scientists are losing their jobs to this new technology. These advancements make it so not only people have to compete with others to find and keep a job they need, but now they are having to compete with technology, making the American Dream even harder to achieve.

I personally did not enjoy this speech, because it was hard for me to relate too. Also after watching Alter's speech about technology it has driven me to become less interested and passionate about technological advancements making this speech very hard to listen to. Even though I did not enjoy this speech I am still able to recognize and appreciate all of the technology innovations that are taking place, making our environment more stable and healthy.
