Is AI making us smarter—or just lazy? 

Kate Mason is joined by tech powerhouse Tracy Sheen to unravel the truth behind our AI anxiety. 

From soldering wires as a kid in the '70s to launching the iPhone in Australia, Tracy shares her compelling journey and why she believes AI could be the greatest tool for creativity, learning, and even neurodiverse empowerment—if we use it right. 

With humor, clarity, and real-world advice, they explore how parents, teachers, and kids can embrace AI not with fear, but with curiosity and purpose. 

Whether you're baffled by bots or a closet tech geek, this conversation will change how you think about the future—and the present.
