About This Podcast
In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, two men stand at the crossroads of innovation and skepticism. *Two Guys Against AI* is a thought-provoking podcast that dives deep into the complexities of AI, its societal impact, and the ethical dilemmas it presents.
Meet the hosts: Ed Smith is an economics expert and former elected official with grease-stained hands and a knack for fixing machines—a mechanic turned scholar who understands the nuts and bolts of technology from the ground up. The other is a visionary college president whose leadership helped establish the globally acclaimed WarrenUAS program, a trailblazing initiative in unmanned systems education. Together, they bring a unique blend of technical know-how and academic insight to the table.
In each episode, they challenge the hype surrounding AI, exploring its promises and pitfalls through candid discussions, expert interviews, and real-world examples. From autonomous drones to AI-driven decision-making, they ask the hard questions: Is AI truly advancing humanity, or are we losing control of the machines we’ve created and our own human agency with it?
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast or a skeptic, *Two Guys Against AI* offers a fresh perspective on the future of technology—and humanity’s place within it. Tune in and join the conversation!
