ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In this rebooted episode, Adam and Joey announce a new direction for the Bits and Bytes podcast, featuring more focused topics and real stories, with support from producers Sepideh and Emma.
Join the discussion on generational shifts in technology from Walkman and Discman to iPod and iPhone, and how today's kids have grown up with AI.
Adam and Joey explore AI's rapid improvement, the risks of not knowing what's real, and growing cybersecurity concerns as AI breaks guardrails and bad actors exploit organizations.
The hosts also discuss using AI as a helpful draft without letting it replace human thinking, and describe building more human-sounding AI agents using imperfections like "um" and strategically using callers' names, along with other strategies.
They preview future episodes featuring some IT heavy hitters focused on peace of mind, leadership visibility, problem-solving, and lessons learned in business and enterprise networking.
