Most AI podcasts tell you one of two things: either AI is going to save the world, unlock human potential, cure diseases, fix the broken bits of capitalism — or that it's going to end the world, homogenise culture, hand power to a handful of companies that have too much of it.In a new mini-series, former Media Leader editor-in-chief Omar Oakes is joined by former Dentsu International CEO, now AI strategist Hamish Nicklin. The duo thinks both those takes are lazy, and is keen to argue over the nuances of AI development and its use in the media and advertising industries.Over the next few weeks, Oakes and Nicklin will discuss topics such as weather AI is really to blame for job cuts, whether AI will replaces human media planners, and whether AI will lead to a decline in creative talent.Episodes of the show will release on Thursdays. In this pilot episode, Oakes and Nicklin lay out the ground rules for their debates to come.
