Or, at least, to get Americans more affordable drugs, which Cuban is endeavoring to do with his startup, Cost Plus Drug Company. Nor does Cuban, like many billionaire businessmen, shy away from talking politics: Does he like President Trump? But would he join the president for dinner like so many of his peers have in recent months? With enthusiasm, according to a conversation we had for this week's episode of .

Serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban believes artificial intelligence will prove more impactful than PCs, the internet, and wireless communication. So, in 2019 he founded the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamps program in Dallas, with a focus on teaching underserved high school students the concepts and skills associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Today, the program is helmed by Director Yvette Medina and delivers that curriculum nationwide. Medina says the program aims to do the "heavy lifting" to recruit students and train employees. Last year, free bootcamps for 9th- to 12th-graders were hosted in more than 20 U.S. cities.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban is bullish on the future of artificial intelligence and has been for years. Not only has he made it a priority to learn about and invest in AI himself, but he has consistently recommended other entrepreneurs do the same. And if the ABC's "Shark Tank" star had to start a side hustle business today, that's where Cuban would turn. "I would become an expert in scripting for Alexa and Google Home and Cortana and go to any place that sold devices they supported and show them how much more they could do with a few hours of personalization," he tells CNBC Make It. By "scripting," Cuban is referring to the process of coding voice commands to create so-called "skills," which enable devices – like Amazon's Echo or Echo Dot, which use artificial intelligence-enabled voice assistant Alexa, Google Home or Microsoft's Cortana – to complete a task.

"Parents, want your kids to learn about artificial intelligence while you're stuck in quarantine," Cuban says on his LinkedIn account.
