CNN commentator and Dream Machine Innovation Lab founder Van Jones sees AI as a helpful tool, not as something to fear. In this clip from the latest episode of Financial Freestyle with Ross Mac, Jones shares his opinions on AI.

Jones calls AI "a jet pack," saying, "You can research. It can help you research faster. You can write music. It can help you write music faster."

He acknowledges that some people fear AI. "Now they're gonna tell you that it's a hand grenade. It's gonna be racist against you. It's gonna take your job," he says.

Yet he cautions against letting others' fear about AI sway your mindset. "The worst mindset to deal with the future is from a place of fear. You need to deal with the future from a... place of faith, vision, direction, and purpose."
