Digital Design Director Leandro Agro joins Dirk and Jon to go beyond artificial intelligence and learn about complementary smartware technologies that, in combination with AI, will transform the ways we live and work. We talk about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s really important.

 

Memorable Quotes

"I love science. I love the truth."

"It's very curious that AI was like eating the most boring part of many different professions."
