About this episode

In this special co-located episode of Executive Edgecast, host Marg Bouse sits down with Kaylee Eastman, a “cautious optimist” about AI, for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about how they are using AI, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping our world and the content we consume.

Together, they explore both the bright potential and the unsettling realities of AI — from productivity and creativity to ethics, misinformation, and the “dead internet” effect. It’s an honest fireside chat about what it means to live and work in the age of intelligent machines.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How “not all AI is the same” — and why companies must define what AI means for them
  • The risks of ungoverned AI use in business — from data leakage to brand damage
  • What the “AI bubble” might mean for markets and innovation
  • Why 95% of AI pilots are failing — and how to avoid common mistakes
  • The difference between gen AI and. AGI (artificial general intelligence)
  • Deepfakes, ethics, and the dangers of “AI slop” in social media and advertising
  • How responsible AI can revolutionize healthcare, environmental science, and creativity
  • Why the best companies will always be people first, AI second

💡 Key takeaway:
AI isn’t magic — it’s a tool. When used responsibly and with purpose, it can elevate human potential. 

But without ethics, guardrails, or empathy, it risks amplifying bias, misinformation, and harm.
