Imagine, you’ve just picked up the phone and called your favourite restaurant. You know that they’ve installed a new AI-powered hostess to help make reservations for prospective diners. After a short conversation, you are stunned. The person on the other end of the line had seemed so human.

You contrast this experience with your so-called self-driving car that breaks and accelerates unpredictably as you drive to work. You reflect on how fast everything seems to be moving. As change rushes through our world, it is easy to become apathetic and afraid. However, you take comfort in knowing that there are curious, gifted people out there, thinking about AI every day.

Today's guest is “AI visionary” Andrea Gallego, Global MD of Technology, Incubation and Strategic Pursuits at Google. In this episode Andrea discusses the evolution of AI, its impact on society, and the balance between technological optimism and skepticism.
