Hi all,
This is the first episode of The Web and The World Podcast 🥳, and boy are we excited for it.
I was hoping to have a good transcript alongside this, but it turns out that’s much more difficult and labor-intensive than anticipated! So tragically all we have is a kludgy one this episode — though it’s generated by a robot, which is at least appropriate for the context. I hope you enjoy the conversation anyway, because it was a fun one.
This week, we interview entrepreneurs Sean Blagsvedt and Archana Prasad about their company Gooey.AI. We discuss the state of AI generally, and how their company is attempting to democratize access to artificial intelligence for a large range of uses, including to help farmers in the Global South find useful information and improve their work.
Join us to learn how this is “not the ostrich moment” to hide from AI!
