Summary

What happens when a curious finance guy joins PayPal and stumbles into the world of machine learning? You get Mike Todasco — someone who’s been riding the AI wave before it made headlines. In this episode, Mike shares why he thinks most businesses are already behind on AI, how teachers can use it to deeply personalize learning, and what skills will still matter even when the bots take over the boring stuff. From robot lawnmowers to AI-powered bedtime quizzes for kids, this conversation is full of practical insight and future-facing optimism.

We also talk about the myth of the Terminator scenario, why software engineers are feeling the heat first, and how AI can help you learn German while driving your kid to school.
