We also ‘delve into’ AI's impact on academia and how it is changing the way we use language, as evidenced by Professor Nicolai J. Foss analysis of word frequency changes in social media due to GPT. We highlight the growing popularity of smaller AI models and their performance improvements, such as Gemini Nano's integration in Samsung S24 for real-time language translation.
The episode also covers the potential of Gen AI in media, with tools like Sora and Pico, and their impact on advertising, training videos, and the media industry. We discuss the advancements in voice generation, including ‘Eleven Labs' work in text-to-voice and voice-to-voice generation, and its various applications.
Moving from the entertainment phase to education in AI mastery, we introduce Ethan Mollick's book "Co-Intelligence" and the importance of understanding AI tools as collaborators and partners. We also address the shift in academia from research to application and the need for educational institutions to evolve.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
