The Courage To Be 130: The Truth About AI You’re Ignoring with Trish Lopez
What is AI actually doing in our daily lives?
Can you benefit from it without losing control of your privacy or purpose?
And how do we stay human in a world where machines are learning to think?
In this episode of The Courage To Be™ podcast, host Tania Vasallo talks with Trish Lopez, founder of Teeniors, about AI for beginners. Trish explains what AI is, how it’s already woven into our routines—from Netflix and Google to Siri and smartwatches—and why understanding it is crucial, even if you never plan to use it. She shares a personal story about using AI to draft a federal grant budget, saving time but learning to question the accuracy.
Trish also dives into the ethical concerns of data mining, job loss, and tech addiction, urging listeners to stay informed and connected. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious, cautious, or simply trying to keep up with the digital age.
Whether it’s courage in business or in life, The Courage To Be podcast explores what it takes to face challenges and grow—from navigating menopause to shifting your mindset, improving your health, and stepping into your full potential.
