Right. Welcome everyone back to dissecting popular IT nerds today. Doom and gloom, fear, how AI is taking over the world, all those horrible things that are probably, but we don't know yet,

but we're hoping it's not going to happen. Welcome Edward Shenard to the show, artificial

intelligence, AI, strategy, data, and analytics leadership. I'm very happy to have you on the show.

And so welcome. Glad to be here. Thank you. And so yes, why,

why AI, first of all, if it's, if it's something to be feared and hated, why is it, why are we

talking about it so much and why is it taking over? And has it taken over yet or is it kind of just

in the joke stage? I don't think it's taken over yet. And I think calling it intelligence is still being a bit favorable towards it.

I have an AI guy.

I tried to have, and he's really good with like, you know, knowing all the prompts.

He's been playing it with it since the inception.

He's pretty much had to, he was able to

quit his day job and, and do just AI all the time. And he got really good at having it mimic my

somewhat of my writing style because I was a creative writing major. That's how I got into

technology, of course, being a creative writing major.

And he was able to get it to mimic my writing style somewhat, but as it moved on, it just became too, it was too animated, I think.

You could just tell it was kind of cheesy and not hitting on point anymore.

So, I mean, I think there's a lot of great potential with AI.

But it's the, it's, it's just still a tool.

If we're going to have some issues with it, it really comes down to the fact that there's

an idiot behind the keyboard.

So as far as IT leadership goes, what should we be concerned about?

Or is there anything that, one of the topics on the show that comes up a lot is technology
