Welcome back to season four of the MKE Tech Podcast! In this special Wisconsin Tech Month edition, we’re excited to have Benjamin Juarez, founder of Latinos in Tech and a self-described "serial creative," join us. Benjamin shares insights into how his boundless creativity fuels his entrepreneurial journey, his innovative use of generative AI in video game design, and the balance between human artistry and AI-driven productivity.
In this episode, Benjamin and I explore the impact of AI on the creative economy, discussing both the opportunities and ethical challenges it presents for artists and developers. We touch on the future of work, universal basic income, and the role of AI in bringing people together rather than dividing us. Additionally, we dive into intellectual property concerns in the US versus Europe and how AI regulations are evolving to protect creators.
Plus, Benjamin gives us a sneak peek at the upcoming Somos Tech Summit hackathon, a key event during Wisconsin Tech Month that brings tech enthusiasts and newcomers together to brainstorm and engineer innovative solutions.

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.
