Learn more about AI and how to better leverage it.
This podcast aims to share exciting discussions with AI experts to demystify what they do and what they work on. We will cover specific AI-related topics (e.g., ChatGPT, DALLE...) and different roles related to artificial intelligence to share knowledge from the people who worked hard to gather it.
I also want to showcase these people's unique paths to get where they are as AI builders, experts, and users. From building to leveraging AI technologies.
