We all know how tough it can be to keep up with fast-moving tech—and few things are evolving faster than artificial intelligence. AI can feel overwhelming, even intimidating, and fears about AI replacing some jobs is real.

In this episode of SoCal Voices, host Angela Ross sits down with USC professor and Your Brand Amplified podcast host Anika Jackson to explore how AI is reshaping the digital landscape. Jackson breaks it down in a way that’s clear, real, and surprisingly hopeful.

Jackson explains that Southern California is uniquely positioned to lead in the AI evolution and whether you’re a worker or business owner, AI can be liberator instead of a threat.
