    The AI Human Paradox - What You Need to Know About the Future of Technology and Ethics

    AI strategist and upcoming author Bruce Randall jumps behind the mic to explore how artificial intelligence is colliding with everyday life—no coding degree required. Bruce unpacks his journey from software sales to earning an MIT “no-code data-science” certificate, and reveals why he’s writing The AI Human Paradox to give non-tech folks a crystal-clear roadmap through the jargon jungle of LLMs, brain-computer interfaces, and autonomous systems. We dig into the art (and science) of great prompting, the power—and peril—of Neuralink-style implants, and why “trust but verify” is Bruce’s golden rule for hallucination-free insights. You’ll hear practical wins for small businesses—from AI-powered chat-bots that rescue bad restaurant reviews to HR tools that actually boost morale—and learn how global pharma giant Sanofi slashes drug-development time with full-stack AI. We examine the ethics of AI-generated college papers, the very real risk of runaway super-intelligence, and Bruce’s optimistic blueprint for keeping humanity in the driver’s seat as machines get smarter. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a curious creator, or just wondering what “BCI” even means, this episode arms you with the mindset and resources to thrive in an AI-accelerated world.

In this episode, Richmond Alake from MongoDB joins us for a wide-ranging, insightful conversation on everything from the basics of machine learning to the future of vector databases and agentic AI systems. Richmond explains how large language models think in structured formats like JSON (just like developers!)—and why that makes MongoDB uniquely positioned for the age of generative AI. 📧📧📧 Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 📧📧📧 We also talk about the philosophy of AI: what happens when machines take over the laborious parts of life? Could AI be humanity’s last invention—and what kind of future could that unlock for us? Richmond shares his personal journey from bored developer to full-stack engineer to AI educator, plus how he’s using ChatGPT and Claude not just for coding, but for learning Japanese and debating ideas. And yes, we get into doomerism, overengineering with LLMs, and whether the word "work" might disappear entirely one day. Want to get more insights from Richmond?
