About This Podcast

Two real-world AI practitioners. One big question: What does all this mean?

Join Michael, a former automation engineer, and Jill, a former data scientist, as they unpack the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence—from the latest headlines to the everyday implications. With experience building AI for real-world use, they cut through the hype to explore what AI actually does, what it doesn’t, and why it matters.

Whether you’re curious about how AI might change your job, your relationships, or the world at large, this podcast offers grounded insights with just enough nerdy delight. Expect thoughtful takes, relatable stories, and the occasional existential question—all served up with a human touch. Because AI isn’t just about machines. It’s about us.
