About These Interviews

These interviews aim to include a diverse set of people from many locations worldwide and across a broad range of roles, occupations, and industries. Technical background or expertise is not required 😊 Here’s a zoomable map of the geographic locations for interview guests to date, in progress, and planned:

Note: For purposes of these interviews, “AI” encompasses traditional data analytics, statistical methods, and machine learning as well as generative AI and other non-generative AI. See our AI Glossary or ask me if you’re not sure if an experience is relevant.

Do YOU have an opinion about the benefits and harms of AI tools, or a story to tell about using AI (or having AI use your info and content)? AI is so pervasive nowadays, everyone’s entitled to an opinion about AI and has stories to tell. Let’s chat about you being a featured guest in a future interview!

Or if you know someone whose voice should be heard about AI, please introduce us!
