About this podcast
10 humans. 50+ AI colleagues. A company that feels like science fiction – but it's just our Tuesday. In "Bots & Bosses" we share what we learn at Leaders of AI every single day: Which AI assistants shine, which ones mess up spectacularly, and why Jürgen – our AI team lead – still got promoted.
Twice a week. Five minutes. Zero bullshit.
This podcast is 100% AI-generated. No microphone was used in its creation. We deliberately left in all the mistakes the AI makes – because we want to show you where the real limits are. That said, we think the result is pretty damn impressive!
