Our producer and editor, Jess Schmidt, did such a good job pulling together last week’s episode while Rob and I were enjoying some summer fun in the sun that we asked her to do it again this week.
“Verticalized AI applications right now are available, right now accelerating industry after industry.”
It’s no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) has been a constant topic of conversation over the last two years on The BetaKit Podcast. The pace of technological change has been breakneck, matched in scale only by the resulting financial commitments to AI from the world’s largest tech companies, and we have done our best on this podcast to keep up.
Perhaps the allure of AI (for podcasters, at least) is that the topic spills easily onto any other subject matter, whether it be economics, academia, or hell, cybersecurity. For this week’s episode, however, Jess tried to keep it a little more tangible and tactile, pulling clips from leaders at North American AI companies, or other tech companies that—like the rest of us—are trying to grasp what comes next. She still found spots to keep it light, like when Rob Kenedi and I offered letter grades for OpenAI and Apple, or when Solon Angel provided an interesting analogy for the creation of artificial general intelligence.
