AI, explained in eight minutes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the endless news and complex models surrounding artificial intelligence? You aren't alone, but getting started with AI is actually much simpler than you think. In this episode of 8minute.ai, Garvin and Becka share beginner tips from a few of our speaker interviews at the Ai4 conference.

Speakers in this episode:

What happens when the "Godfather," "Godmother," and leading pioneers of artificial intelligence sit on the same stage with completely opposing views? In this episode of 8 minute AI, Becka, Garvin, and Michael break down their biggest takeaways from the massive Ai4 2026 conference in Las Vegas. Dancing humanoid robots, cute (or creepy) robot dogs, and an intense keynote panel featuring Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng, we cover the real debates surrounding AI risk, job displacement, open weights, and regulation. Tune in to discover where the future of AI is actually heading, straight from the source!
