But the most immediate threat to their job is more likely to be their colleague who workshopped some best use cases for AI, not the intelligence itself.
We’re joined by special guest Christopher Brock, whose early passion for coding has positioned him as a key influencer in the AI movement.

We’ll talk about that, plus how AAIM has helped Lydia on her way to where she is today!
