She helped build the AI systems shaping your world. Now she’s warning you about what’s coming and what it’s already costing you.

Sol Rashidi is the world’s first Chief AI Officer for Enterprise. She’s worked inside IBM, Watson, Royal Caribbean, Sony Music, Merck, Estée Lauder, and Amazon. She holds 11 patents, has delivered 3 TED Talks, and has been named a Forbes AI Maverick of the 21st Century. And when her kids are asked what mom does for work? “Mommy’s trying to stop robots from taking over the world.”

They’re not wrong.

In this episode, Sol pulls back the curtain on what’s actually happening inside the world’s most powerful AI companies, the consequences that never make the headlines, the tech billionaires opting out of having children until Neuralink chips exist, and the quiet alarm being sounded by the researchers who built these systems. She also opens up about the personal cost of holding the line inside institutions that hired her for who she was, then asked her to be less of it.

This is not a doom-and-gloom AI episode. Sol is the ally we’ve been waiting for: someone who has been inside the machine and is fighting for the humans inside it.

If you’ve been tuning out AI content because it feels like it has nothing to do with your life — this is the episode that changes that.
