shifts into high gear as we break down Artificial Intelligence with the curiosity of a lifelong learner and the speed of a turbocharged algorithm.

We’re not here for the hype or the sci-fi drama. We're here to answer one thing, fast and furiously: What is AI, really?

In this episode, we take you on a ride across: What AI actually is (and isn’t), a quick spin through the history of AI — from Turing to ChatGPT, the types of AI driving your apps, cars, and conversations, what AI looks like right now (spoiler: it’s everywhere), what’s coming next — and how not to stall out, and how you — as a professional or a company — can stay ahead without spinning your wheels.

In this episode’s "Data Story" segment, we talk about an interesting study that uses AI to detect bacterial resistance. Super Cool!

It’s data. It’s math. It’s models. It’s also changing the world. Whether you’re building with AI, worried about it, or just trying to sound smart at dinner — this episode is your pit stop for clarity.

Hit play — and let’s get curious.
