E25 - Guests: Steve Brown, Futurist, AI Expert, Entrepreneur and Author

Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

This week is a little different to normal as I combine a thematic issue with a guest interview and discuss the whole topic of Artificial Intelligence with Steve Brown.
Steve is a leading expert on generative AI, autonomous AI assistants, digital transformation, the future of work, and how advances in AI will shape the future of education, business and society. He is a published author and speaks globally to a very wide range of corporates and media outlets on all things AI and, importantly, has a rare ability to explain a very complex issue in ways that normal mortals like me can understand!
As you will discover if you listen to the podcast, Steve generously offered access to a range of free resources (not discoverable by normal search) on his website and having taken a look, this is a veritable gold mine of material to help you learn more about this vitally important topic. The web URL you need to go to is at 00.45.50 on the podcast
I really hope you enjoy this session; given that it's very different to my normal podcasts, I would really value your feedback please!
