Welcome to Ai Newbs: Our Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (Ai) is changing the world at a rapid pace, but let’s be honest—it’s not always easy to understand. With all the technical jargon, complex concepts, and endless possibilities, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why we started Ai Newbs: a podcast that explores Ai through the lens of two curious learners—Adam and Hollie Blanchard, a brother and sister team who are diving into this world for the first time, just like many of you.

We don’t claim to be Ai experts. In fact, we proudly call ourselves “newbs” in this field. Our goal isn’t to teach you all the ins and outs of machine learning or robotics—we’re here to make AI more approachable by sharing our journey of discovery and asking the big questions that everyone is thinking. Whether we’re tackling the basics or diving into the more complex, ethical side of Ai, we want you to join us in learning, exploring, and figuring it out together.

Why Ai, and Why Now?

The world is changing, and Ai is playing a big part in that. From the way we work to how we interact with technology, Ai is shaping our future. But it’s not just for tech geeks and engineers. Ai will affect all of us—from how we live our daily lives to the ethical dilemmas we’ll face in the future. That’s why we wanted to start this podcast. We’re curious, and we want to explore this technology with you—without all the intimidation that comes with trying to understand it.

As a brother and sister team, we’ve always shared a love for learning, and Ai felt like the perfect new frontier to tackle together. Adam, with his background in storytelling, has a knack for making complex ideas engaging. Hollie, with her experience as an educator, excels at breaking things down into understandable pieces. Together, we thought: "Why not take on Ai and see where it leads us?" We figured if we could explore it, so could anyone else.

It’s About the Journey, Not the Destination

One thing we’ve learned so far is that Ai is huge, and there’s no way we’re going to figure it all out in one sitting. And that’s okay! Ai Newbs is about the journey of discovery, not having all the answers. We’re asking questions, breaking things down, and figuring out how this technology works—one episode at a time. There’s no rush to become an Ai expert. Instead, we’re focused on making these topics easy to understand, relatable, and fun.

Whether we’re talking about how machine learning works, what ethical questions arise with Ai, or how it might change jobs and privacy, we’re here to learn with you, not lecture you. Each conversation is a step forward, and we want you to feel like you’re right there with us, learning as we go.

Why Listen to Ai Newbs?

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about Ai but didn’t know where to start—or if you’ve found the subject intimidating—then Ai Newbs is for you. We’re taking something that can feel complex and breaking it down into bite-sized, relatable pieces. It doesn’t matter if you’re a tech enthusiast or a complete beginner; we want to spark conversations about Ai that everyone can be part of.

Every episode is a chance for us to dig deeper into the world of Ai, exploring topics like the impact of Ai on the job market, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and what the future might look like with this technology shaping our lives. We don’t have all the answers, but that’s what makes it so interesting—we’re discovering it right alongside you.
