Why This Machine Learning Engineer is Teaching AI to Everyone - Harper Carroll

A rare female-only conversation on AI

What if AI isn’t replacing us—but redefining what it means to be skilled? Should we even bother learning to code anymore? How do we avoid AI-enhanced scams?

In this episode I chat to ML engineer and educator Harper Carroll. A fundamental optimist at heart, Harper has made it her mission to teach people stay ahead of the AI revolution for as long as possible. A grounded look at the tools, challenges, and upsides of the tsunami of AI tools flooding the market, as well as an unusual exploration of the spirituality (or lack of it) in Silicon Valley.
