Meet the Influectuals is back for a new season. 

Kicking things off, Sonia and John sit down with Joscha Wirtz, who isn’t just talking about AI—he’s building a think tank powered by it. Not a think tank about AI (there are plenty of those already), but one where AI runs research, communications, operations, and even fundraising.

In this episode, Joscha challenges the traditional think tank model and explores where organizations should start when adopting AI, which tools actually work, and whether AI enhances expertise or erodes trust.

And finally, should AI replace your favorite hosts? Or did it already?
