Bot Boundaries

Welcome to Bot Boundaries, hosted by Jackie and Katie, where we explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.  The 21st century has been defined by speed. Technology has given us access and deeper reach but it also raised new questions about attention spans, whether we can trust what we’re seeing, and how we can find balance in our lives.  Now, as artificial intelligence pushes us into a new frontier of work and creativity, we find ourselves learning in real time, without a clear roadmap. What matters most isn’t just what we can build, but how we thoughtfully choose to move forward together, keeping our friends, our neighbors, our children top of mind in the race towards advancing AI autonomy. We’re bringing our combined experience across entrepreneurship, marketing, and sales to unpack the big questions: trust, innovation, balance, and what it means to build a future we actually want. Join us as we dive into hot topics across tech, business, culture and the human side of it all—serving up value in every episode.
