About this episode

Welcome to the 32nd episode of the Plant Your Flag Podcast! In this Episode, we talk about what Businesses are actually doing with AI. Join Mike Bean and Jeremy Mountain as they navigate the new business landscape powered by artificial intelligence.

AI has been infiltrating every business and industry since neural network transformers were discovered in 2017. This allowed key models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and so many more AI systems to enter the public space, where entrepreneurs have access to them.

How are private and public businesses leveraging these and other AI systems? Mostly through automation and optimizing their work processes. So far, what we see is not often businesses looking to replace people but using AI to make everyday tasks much more efficient.

In this episode, we will discuss:
- How businesses are actually using AI
- Using AI as an entrepreneur
- How AI can improve a business's workflow
- Why AI is not as threatening as it seems
- What Meta is doing with their Andromeda AI
- And more AI topics

We hope you enjoy this deep dive into AI systems and how real businesses (like us) are actually using AI to improve how they operate themselves. If you want to learn more about AI and Business, watch the 31st episode of the podcast with John Porter, a tech leader who breaks down exactly how he is helping non-technical founders use AI solutions for their business.
