  • Spock vs Kirk episode

    I find the podcasts informative. There’s a variety of guests throughout the AI spectrum that helps me understand what it can and can’t do.

    Just listen to the episode “We wanted Spock, but got Kirk”

    I would say we got C-3PO.

  • Wanted to like this

    The content is interesting but the AI voice is just too distracting. Couldn’t listen for even 10 minutes. I would listen more if it was a real person talking. Won’t listen again.

  • A conversation for seniors

    I would market this show and its podcasts towards folks who were born before 1960s and have a cautious interest in learning about the concepts of AI. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I think labeling this towards GenX is the wrong generation.

The Next Evolution Isn't Artificial Intelligence. It's Hybrid Intelligence - Says Rana Gujral

The Next Evolution Isn't Artificial Intelligence. It's Hybrid Intelligence - Says Rana Gujral
