🎙️ Machine Ethics Podcast x Beginner's Guide to AI

AI is everywhere. But almost nobody agrees on what it actually is.

In this episode, Ben Byford from the Machine Ethics Podcast and Dietmar Fischer explore why AI feels intelligent while fundamentally being something very different.

From AI misconceptions to generative AI risks, this conversation breaks down the gap between perception and reality and why it matters for business leaders, marketers, and decision-makers.

You’ll learn why AI literacy is becoming essential, how misunderstanding AI creates real business risks, and what it takes to use AI responsibly in a rapidly changing landscape.
