Q: On ebola, if Kenya does end up blocking the US quarantine facility there, why can't Americans who have been exposed come to the US?
DR OZ: There's many places we can send folks, but sending them across the world is probably not the wisest move

🗣️"When you look at AI, we are looking at us moving from access to agency. That is what AI can give us — not just being recipients of technologies, but being producers of technologies, being in charge and in control of the narrative."
🤖“AI continues to advance, and we are faced with what is called a singularity paradox. While AI may become highly sophisticated, it will still depend on human values, oversight, and strong knowledge systems to ensure it is used responsibly.”
🌍"Ultimately, the future of #OpenScience and #AI must be inclusive and globally representative, and #Africa has a critical role to play, not at the margins, but at the center of shaping this future.”
