People of AI – Season 3

Posted by Ashley Oldacre

If you are joining us for the first time, you can binge listen to Seasons 1 and 2 wherever you get your podcasts.

We are back for another season of People of AI with a new lineup of incredible guests! I am so excited to continue co-hosting with Luiz Gustavo Martins as we meet inspiring people with interesting stories in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Last season we focused on the big shift in technology spurred on by Generative AI. Fast forward 12 months, with the launch of multimodal models, we are at an interesting point in history.

In Season 3, we will continue to uncover our guests’ personal and professional journeys into the field of AI, highlighting the important work/products they are focusing on. At the same time we want to dig deeper into the societal implications of what our guests create. We will ask questions to understand how they are leveraging AI to solve problems and create new experiences while also looking to understand what challenges they may face and what potential this technology has for both good and bad. We want to hold both truths to light through conversations with our guests. All this with the goal of aligning our technology with the public narrative and paint a realistic picture of how this technology is being used, the amazing things we can do with it and the right questions to make sure it is used safely and responsibly.

Starting today, we will release one new episode of season 3 per week. alternating video and audio. Listen to the first episode on the People of AI site or wherever you get your podcasts.
