When we started this podcast from the United States, we never would have guessed the majority of our listeners hail from the country of Pakistan. But here we are, 30 episodes in, and that remains a fact, which has us asking: Why?
In this episode, we discuss how these two countries compare regarding AI technology use and adoption, along with government and business AI policy. We have come to find out that there is actually a potentially big tech partnership between the two nations, and in fact, there is still much we can learn from each other about the future of Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has, no doubt, been one of the year's biggest societal game-changers of 2025. The acronym AI seems to be spoken in every breath of every industry, and the hype train is full speed ahead. However, many experts believe the investment bubble may be ready to burst at any moment.
In this episode, we utilized Claude projects to create the episode topic and outline, driving our discussion for your listening pleasure. Here, we discuss our thoughts on what ideas and concepts we believe are legitimate and which may be overhyped in the current AI market.
So, how long do you think it will be before the AI stock bubble pops?
Many artificial intelligence (AI) tools have started to hit the market, and the frequency will only increase from here. Most people only know AI through a Large Language Model (LLM) like ChatGPT, and while those tools have great uses, there are many other AI-driven functions that can utilize this technology.
Today we share our thoughts on Duckbill AI, a tool marketed as an AI personal assistant with a human touch. If you have ever wondered how AI technology can be used as a practical productivity tool rather than just a general research engine, then listen to how we think ideas like this can possibly lead to more real-world AI adoption without losing the human element.
