The AI conversation, without the noise.

Episode 17: Andrew DeGood and Liz Short on Who to Trust About AI

Who do you trust when everyone has a opinion about AI? Andrew DeGood and Liz Short start with a classroom conversation and follow it into a harder question: how do people decide what is true? Andrew wants evidence behind claims about data centers, water, and job losses. Liz asks why communities should trust an industry that promises progress while talking about replacing their livelihoods. They debate social media feeds, the limits of personal experience, surveillance, and who should benefit when infrastructure arrives in a community. Their America versus AI documentary gives the conversation a practical test: leave the feed, meet people, and listen before deciding what they believe. The takeaway is a shared obligation. Ask better questions, follow claims to their sources, and admit what you do not know. Andrew leads AskBobAI; Liz leads Short Solutions. Their industry experience informs their views. Claims discussed remain subject to evidence and correction.
