Organizations adopt artificial intelligence at a rapid rate; therefore, leaders must understand AI use cases, best practices, and trends. This will facilitate leaders in formulating a successful AI strategy and implementation for their organization. The “AI Today Podcast” covers most of the topics listed above.
“The CyberWire” is a beautiful resource for staying informed about cybersecurity issues and threats. There is a perfect blend of being both highly technical and high-level, suitable for someone concerned about security but does not want to get buried in the weeds daily.
Tech entrepreneur Naval Ravikant hosts his podcast “Naval” to discuss lessons learned and observations about how the world is evolving. Philosophy is discussed efficiently.
