E6. Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) here to save or ruin us, with Ryan Findley
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Ryan Findley—better known as Fin. A former teacher turned tech insider, Fin has spent the last three years helping schools and organizations make sense of the sudden avalanche of artificial intelligence. As the technology’s impact has become impossible to ignore, he’s shifted his focus toward an even bigger question: how families and parents can prepare for life in the Age of AI.
Together, we tackle one of the strangest and most urgent questions of our time: what is AI, really—and is it saving us, ruining us, or doing something far more complicated?
Our conversation ranges from Silicon Valley hype cycles and global tech races to the very real ways AI is already helping people, harming people, reshaping faith, and quietly reshaping who we are. Expect honest disagreements, truth-telling, and a few stories that might make you rethink your relationship with the internet altogether.
