The AI Download

From Nvidia’s robot revolution to AI-powered dating profiles and fast food drive-thrus run by bots—AI is taking over. But what does that mean for our jobs, love lives, and ethics?

This episode is sponsored by Hivelighter.

In this jam-packed conversation, Shira Lazar is joined by producer Nadia G. and AI educator Nate Jones to break down the biggest AI headlines and what they really mean. From the Vatican weighing in on ethics to California’s bold new AI regulation roadmap, the trio explores how AI is shaking up industries and reshaping how we live and work.

🔹 Is AI coming for your job—or making it better?
🔹 What happens when AI enters the dating pool?
🔹 Can California set the gold standard for AI regulation?
🔹 What does the Vatican have to do with machine learning?
🔹 And yes… will AI be taking your fast food order soon?

Plus: Nate shares his wild ride into AI content creation, how AI tools are transforming creator workflows, and why he’s proud of his new Maven course on adapting to the AI-powered future.

This one’s got ethics, edge, and even a few laughs.
