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.
