Technology rising up and overtaking its human masters is a well-worn plot in science fiction (the Terminator movies, for example).

But a lot of people are talking about the dangers of technology in real life too. 

Elon Musk has repeatedly said that he thinks artificial intelligence is a risk to human existence, and is warning the main players in that field to slow down so they don't make mistakes. 

I haven't been following the whole "AI taking us over" debate, but I do think that technology can be good for your business. 

Take for example Alexa, the virtual assistant made by Amazon. 

I just launched a new show as an Alexa flash briefing called The Marc Mawhinney Minute, and I'm confident it's going to drive a lot of traffic over to my site and bring in new business. 

The cool thing is it doesn't take long for me to do them, and very few entrepreneurs are using it - so I'm on the ground floor of something that I think will be big. 

If you'd like to get a head start on the other entrepreneurs who will be rushing to create Alexa flash briefings in future years, I'm doing something you'll be interested in ... 

I've asked Jeff Smith, the guy who set up my Alexa flash briefing, to do a training and show how you can leverage them to grow your business. 

Jeff is a real pro with Alexa (his nickname is "The Alexa Guy" after all), so there's no one better to learn from. 

The free training is happening later today at 2 pm EST, and you can register for it here: 

Don't hold me responsible if the robots take over,
