About the Podcast

The conversation took off like the flyover of the Thunderbirds at Super Bowl LIV, bouncing between the thrilling game’s overtime drama and what got into Kelce’s shorts; ending with Mule and JP diving into the excitement of the game and pondering how the new rules could shake things up.

The conversation quickly turned to the theme of the gathering; Artificial Intelligence (AI). JP wondered how it’s possible to have Artificial Intelligence when we haven’t mastered real intelligence. Even Ricky Gervais’ jabs at the intelligence of the “average person on the street”, where he makes the statement that the average person on the streets is stupid, so don’t ask them.

Soon, all nonsense aside (well, most nonsense… some nonsense?) the subject which is the theme of this episode finally entrenched itself; from customs brokerage, content creation, and voice recognition. JP and Mule sparred over whether AI-generated content could truly hold its own, whether it’s crafting web articles or sorting through customs forms. They even scratched their heads over the moral maze of AI; worrying about biases and fairness.

But wait, there’s more! The talk then turned to AI’s potential in saving lives and solving big scientific puzzles, like sniffing out cancer early and crunching through mountains of data. Of course, worries about AI taking over our jobs popped up, but everyone agreed: humans and AI can be a dream team if we play our cards right.

Then came the deep dive into how AI is shaking up industries like manufacturing and pharma, with automation creeping in but also bringing promises of supercharged productivity and smarter decisions.

Through it all, there was a healthy dose of doubt about AI’s superhero status and plenty of talk about the ethics of it all. Everyone agreed: AI needs a good teacher, a pat on the back now and then, and a watchful human eye to keep it on the straight and narrow.

The chatter hammered home one big idea: AI and humanity are like dance partners, spinning through the world together. It’s a tricky tango, but with the right moves, we can waltz into a future where AI makes life better for all of us.

Give a listen!
