302: [HT Special] Epitome Anatomy: Artificial Intelligence - The Cat's Out of the Bag

Welcome to Human Thesaurus EPITOME ANATOMY. This time, we tackle a word or several keywords that affect our lives to shape, distort, attract, dispel, and meditate, among other facets of human emotions and observations.

Our keyword for this first special episode is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I will have a casual yet satisfying conversation about our AI perspectives while taking it to practical, layperson's terms with my returning guest from the last season, our whiz kid, the human AI Ray Chang. Also joining us is my guy BFF Jeroen Baron from Arnhem, The Netherlands, who is a full-time teacher at HAN University of Applied Sciences. We will lay them out based on our career and life experiences and note that this will focus on practical everyday people application. This is my first multi-guest on this podcast, and I am adrenalised to do this. Grab your drink of choice, and join the eavesdropping.
