The Brave Technologist explores how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Web3 are influencing our lives, our choices, and our collective future. Unlike many tech podcasts that focus on hype and disruption, this show puts users at the center of the conversation. Each episode features thoughtful discussions with technologists working to ensure that innovation serves the public interest. How are these tools impacting users? And how can we ensure that technology is developed with transparency, accountability, and the public good in mind? We're going deep with founders, builders, policy makers and researchers to explore the worlds of privacy, AI, crypto, digital rights, algorithmic accountability, and everywhere else where cutting edge technology impacts our daily lives.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T02:20:25.024347+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-brave-technologist-2135907"},"episode":{"title":"General Assembly: The Skills That Actually Matter Now","slug":"general-assembly-the-skills-that-actually-matter-now","published_at":"2026-04-29T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-brave-technologist-2135907/general-assembly-the-skills-that-actually-matter-now","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-brave-technologist-2135907","url":"https://thebravemarketer.libsyn.com/general-assembly-the-skills-that-actually-matter-now","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/thebravemarketer/TBT-Jordan.mp3?dest-id=2705240","summary":"Jourdan Hathaway, Chief Business Officer at General Assembly, discusses her experience integrating AI agents into her admissions team, including stories of real-world complexities, edge cases, and unexpected messiness of the implementation.
