    Why we urgently need more women in AI

    Only 0.7% of AI funding went to female founders. Yep you read that right...! We need more women at the forefront of AI, whether that's building AI startups, getting funding, joining AI taskforces within their companies, or simply dabbling with ChatGPT to get the best out of it. In a special bonus episode, Next Big Thing founder Lauren Ingram shares why this is now an urgent need - this year is when the critical conversations are happening about AI, and women need their voices heard in it.

    Why AI literacy is your golden ticket, with AI founder Denzil Eden

    Denzil Eden engineered an amazing conversational AI tool way before ChatGPT hit the news. Her product Smarty can organise your calendar with just a few words, and plays the role of your personal assistant. Denzil has degrees in computer science & AI from MIT, and an MBA from Harvard, but found that the market wasn’t ready for her advanced product for a long time - and that pitching her startup now is a very different process now that people understand slick chatbots. We talk about why AI literacy is so important, and what she would do differently if she started again today (spoiler alert: she wouldn’t build the tool just yet!).

    The zero bulls**t guide to AI for agencies, with Kate Ross

    Kate Ross has pivoted her digital agency of the last 15 years, called eight&four, to offer its own suite of AI tools because she was frustrated by the limitations of just using ChatGPT. She shares the agency’s successes and the misses in building bespoke AI solutions, such as a tone of voice tool that a large travel brand now lets every employee use. Kate also gives us some good old fashioned British cynicism (or realism!) about the hype and bluster (and even white lies) about some of the AI tools out there. She is also bullish on the future of creativity. So if you’re a marketer, work in an agency, or use tech to sell more in your business, this episode is for you!
