Monica shares insights into the unique concerns an AI might have, such as data integrity, ethical implications, and continuous learning. The conversation also delves into Monica’s interests outside of AI concerns, with the rapid fire round of questions that I ask all my guests. Monica provides practical advice for future podcast guests, and highlights the potential of modern AI tools.

Obviously a conversation with a human will be much more natural sounding, more free flowing, and conversational rather than a scripted back and forth.

Recording note: I'm still trying to find a good way to record and EQ my own voice. This episode suffers from #morningvoice where I realized after I recorded that I hadn't done much talking this morning so there's even more of a low rumble to my voice in your eardrums. Apologies in advance and I'll be taking it up with my editor.
