Generative AI is everywhere, it's the new thing we all can't stop talking about, no matter how much the reasonable people around me ask me to. But despite how dominant it is, it's not the end all, be all. Generative AI probably isn't taking your job, and it's almost certainly not going to take over the world.

We're live with Anne Murphy, 25 year veteran fundraiser and early AI adopter to ruminate on how AI is poised to shake up everything from corporate workflows to gender dynamics.
