Welcome to Episode 150 of The Artificial Intelligence Show—a special milestone that marks the launch of a brand-new series: AI Answers. In this episode, Paul Roetzer is joined by Cathy McPhillips to debut a fresh format designed to systematically answer the best questions we get during our live AI education sessions.

Over the past few years, our free Intro to AI and Scaling AI classes have attracted more than 32,000 learners—and they’ve asked hundreds of smart, tough, practical questions. This new series tackles them head-on.
