The bAIbes is a podcast for people who want their AI analysis sharp, honest, and a little irreverent. Hosted by two former technology executives — we bring deep Australian tech industry experience to the conversations that matter: AI's social impact, political dimensions, and what responsible transformation actually looks like for real organisations. No hype. No hand-wringing. Just two women who know what they’re talking about. We're hot and we know stuff.
