About this episode
The episode discusses the shortcomings of AI translation solutions and emphasizes a problem-first approach.
Join co-hosts Peter Argondizzo and Patrick Daley as they push back on the LinkedIn “AI echo chamber” and explain why so many AI translation solutions miss the point. They share real examples of problem-first AI, including IEP translation for school districts, breakdown warning signs of tool-led thinking, and offer questions to ask any provider who leads with their tech stack instead of your business challenges.
