AI in the Real World with Robert Granoff

From Compliance Bots to Cyborg Futures: AI in the Real World with Robert Granoff

In this episode of AGI: Advance, Grow, Innovate with AI, Jason sits down with photographer and AI enthusiast Robert Granoff for a wide-ranging, practical, and at times philosophical conversation about how artificial intelligence is reshaping real life—from education and business to legal disputes and robot companions.

Robert shares his journey from experimenting with MidJourney to building a real estate compliance GPT, making the case for structured AI learning over casual tinkering. They explore why AI isn't just a creative tool—it's becoming a critical layer in automation, governance, and everyday problem-solving.

Key topics include:

• Why AI is already changing education—and what schools should be teaching instead

• How custom GPTs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) are transforming niche industries

• The “cat and mouse” game of AI vs. AI in compliance and regulation

• Legal bots, lawnmower repairs, and other surprising real-world AI use cases

• Why the real danger isn’t AI itself—it’s whether humanity can evolve fast enough to keep up

  
  

This is a conversation for anyone looking to understand how AI is impacting our lives today—not in sci-fi, but in contracts, classrooms, and customer service.
