Description:
In this special episode, we sit down with one of the most visionary minds of the 19th century — mathematician, writer, and trailblazer Ada Lovelace. Best known for her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, Ada is often credited as the world’s first computer programmer. But her imagination reached far beyond numbers.

Together, we explore the origins of her collaboration with Babbage, her radical belief that machines could manipulate symbols and create art, and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated scientific world.

Hear Ada in her own words — reimagined through AI voice technology — as she reflects on creativity, human-machine collaboration, and the future of computing she never lived to see.

Topics covered:

• The Analytical Engine and its untapped potential
• Ada’s visionary notes on symbolic computation
• What she imagined machines might do one day
• The intersection of logic and imagination
• Her message to modern technologists and creators
