Technically Optimistic

You may remember a short gig we did with Tim Halle for one of the first online learning programs. I have followed your career and applauded your success. This informative podcast is an amazing tour through the biggest issues in tech. I am writing a book on how to write a personal essay for high school seniors. One of my chapters is on AI. I plan to study your series to research my writing. Thank you.

This podcast is probably the best show on privacy rights, cybersecurity, and personal data that’s airing right now. The reason being that it makes content that is otherwise cryptic, accessible to general audiences. Hence, it is incredibly didactic and tremendously helpful in educating the public. I genuinely think savvy professors should make this the equivalent of required readings on certain classes in college surrounding civil rights, liberalism, etc., and perhaps even a good way of introducing the subject to high schoolers (a smart high school teacher could do wonders with snippets of this show and some creativity.) There’s no moral high horses on the show, no ivory tower parlance between talking heads that just like the sound of their voices: just the problem and the facts. I would recommend this in a heartbeat to anyone interested. In fact, I’ve been annoyingly pushing it around my network, raving about each episode. (I am saying this as a lawyer with a human rights background, a Masters, and comprehensive knowledge of internet law [i.e. online privacy]. Start listening, you won’t regret it!)

This was a great episode on AI! Informative, optimistic, and clear. Definitely looking forward to the other episodes and learning more!

This podcast is a very clear and interesting overview of AI with great info about its history, the opportunities and challenges, and why it is so game changing.
