In this episode of Conversations with the Experts, host Dan Martin is joined by the endlessly curious and insightful Lauren Cantor, an AI specialist whose career path has taken her from the cosmos of astrophysics to the intensity of Wall Street, the world of fine arts, and now the fast-evolving frontier of AI consulting.

Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping our world, from the boardroom to the classroom. Lauren offers a refreshingly grounded and optimistic take on AI’s potential, challenging the doom-and-gloom narratives with a thoughtful perspective on how AI can enhance, not replace, human capability.

They dig into big questions: What does it mean when AI development is largely led by the private sector? How will white-collar jobs evolve? Can AI be a force for good in education? Through it all, Lauren champions emotional intelligence, creativity, and critical thinking, timeless human strengths she believes will remain irreplaceable in an AI-driven future.

If you’re curious about where we’re headed with AI and how to thrive in that future, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The last time we spoke to AI expert Isidore “Izzy” Sobkowski, he discussed the importance of establishing guardrails and governance policies for using AI. In this conversation, he and Dan Martin dive into how large language models are trained and how to know whether or not the information you’re receiving is accurate.

With the increase in geopolitical conflict around the world and the US navigating a fractious political climate, it’s never been more important to consider and check the sources of information we are receiving.

As Izzy warns, “Anytime there is technology, there is an opportunity to abuse it.”
