Episode Details

Most AI conversations end in fear. This one goes the other way — and it comes from someone actually building the stuff.

Guest Wesley Grammer, a senior embedded systems engineer, shares his passion for making a positive impact in AI and lays out a more hopeful vision than the usual doom. He makes the case for approaching the future of AI with optimism — as a collaboration with humanity, not a replacement of it — and for assimilating AI into society in a way that genuinely helps people. After a lot of takes about what could go wrong, it's worth hearing a builder talk about how to make it go right.
