About this episode
Emily Laird provides a humorous and informative overview of the ASAP AI Skills Access Passport series aimed at enhancing AI literacy.
Host Emily Laird breaks down ASAP, the free AI Skills Access Passport series built to help real people make sense of generative AI before it starts running the group chat, the bank app, and your kid’s homework. This episode covers what AI actually does, where it shows up, how it can help, and why it can also lie with the confidence of a Marvel villain holding an Infinity Stone. It is a sharp, funny primer on prompts, privacy, hallucinations, and the very human skill of knowing when to trust the machine and when to back away slowly.Access ASAP AI Skills Access Passport Join the AI Weekly MeetupsConnect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn.
