Rashida Jones is an actor and writer who thinks a lot about artificial intelligence. She says AI is here to stay and we need to be careful about how we use it.

In her new show 'Sunny,' Jones plays a woman named Suzie who gets a robot companion. The robot, named Sunny, was a gift from Suzie's husband before he disappeared.

Suzie learns that her husband worked in robotics and made Sunny special for her. As she uses Sunny to learn more about her husband, she sees how AI can be dangerous.

The writer of the show, Katie Robbins, says AI can be good for helping people connect. But she worries that AI can also be used in harmful ways because humans make it.
