Sarah Rose Siskind returns to Walk-Ins Welcome for a fascinating chat about AI, exploring its strengths, quirks, and why it sparks insecurity in so many. She and Bridget unpack humanity’s love-hate dance with robots, wrestling with the paradox at its core: Will robots become too human? Why aren’t they human enough? They dive into AI’s struggle to nail comedy (despite being a comedian’s secret weapon), its transformative role for women in crisis—like in Afghanistan—and the unexpected power of Bitcoin for women across the Middle East. Sarah also shares her vision for restoring trust in science through her Null Bell Prize for unsung scientific flops, strategies for rebuilding faith when it’s lost, and how she proposed to husband, Nick Gillespie, at Burning Man.

Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all.
