ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when AI starts influencing not only how we work, but how we communicate, create, and even understand empathy? 🤖💭
In this unique 2nd episode of Essence and Essentials (PART 2), Jasmine sits down with software engineer Kieran Abesamis as they build a website demo for the podcast using AI, or “Essence.” During their website-building, the two discuss the importance of using AI as a tool rather than a replacement for expertise and debate whether AI can actually make us more empathetic across their two fields of healthcare and software engineering.
The conversation goes beyond technology—into the limits of humanizing AI, the risks of becoming overly dependent on it, and why staying informed matters as AI continues to evolve.

Most importantly, Kieran dedicates this episode and website-building in honor of remembering Andrew Bishop and supporting the non-profit organization, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). MADD’s mission is to end drunk and drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes, and prevent underage drinking and other drug use.
