    Think AI Is Just Fancy Copywriting? John Sets the Record Straight

    John Munsell joins me again in studio to unpack his new book InGrain AI: Strategy Through Execution and shows how any team—whether 20 people or 2,000—swaps its “tricycle” approach to AI for a turbo-charged Tesla. We dig into his AI Strategy Canvas, a nine-block framework that turns scattered experiments into a company-wide game plan. Discover how a six-minute ROI calculator saves days of dev time and learn why spending just $100 a month on the right LLM mix can unlock top-100-talent performance for everyone on staff. John also shares the “Challenger” prompt that keeps groupthink at bay, explains when to trust (and mistrust) your favorite model, and maps the fastest path from dabbling to an AI-first culture. 🧑‍🦰 You find John Munsell on LinkedIn 📖 And if you want to take a look into the book, you'll find all you need to know on his website --- Tune in to get my thoughts, and don’t forget to subscribe to our Newsletter!

    Ever wondered if AI leaderboards are as fair as they seem? In today's episode of A Beginner's Guide to AI, Professor GePhardT digs into the explosive controversy known as the "Leaderboard Illusion."

Join us as we unravel this juicy saga, discuss why fairness and transparency matter, and explore how these leaderboards can impact the AI landscape.

    🔮Predictive AI: Your Invisible Fortune-Teller

    Ever wonder how Netflix knows your next binge-watch, or why your bank spots fraud before you do? In this lively episode of A Beginner’s Guide to AI, Professor GePhardT lifts the lid on predictive AI—the hidden tech wizard quietly shaping our daily lives. From forecasting retail trends at Target to critical healthcare interventions, predictive AI isn't just predicting the future; it's already shaping it. But there’s a catch: with great power comes the thorny challenge of bias and ethics. Join the fun as we untangle how predictive AI differs from generative AI, explore its surprising influence in everyday situations (cakes included!), and sharpen our own predictive skills through hands-on activities with Google Trends. Plus, a reality check from AI pioneer Pedro Domingos reminds us why understanding this tech matters—because computers might already run more than we'd like to admit.
