In this episode, we ask: Is the rise of Artificial Intelligence as pivotal as the invention of electricity or the internet? We look at this history-shifting moment by tracing AI's evolution from the first "perceptron" in the 1950s, through the infamous "AI Winter," to today's deep learning revolution.
We then peek under the hood of the Large Language Models (LLMs) powering our world, breaking down core concepts like the attention mechanism and temperature. We also confront their biggest weaknesses, including hallucinations and limited memory.
Finally, we get practical, exploring how corporations are using AI for everything from contract review to advanced knowledge management and automation. But it's not all about opportunity—we also tackle the critical risks, ethical concerns, and governance challenges, from cultural bias to data security, that we must navigate.

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.
