About this episode
Artificial Intelligence exploded in 2025. This year saw big promises -- that AI would usher in an age of unprecedented abundance, solve intractable problems, and touch every corner of our lives. At the same time, we saw growing anxiety around AI taking jobs, worries there's an AI bubble, and warnings around the dangers of AI. So, between the hype and the anxiety, what was AI's impact in 2025? And what can we expect from AI in 2026? Sinead Bovell, a Canadian futurist, and Jaxson Khan, CEO of Aperture AI and a former federal policy advisor, join us to help answer the big questions.
