Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, and Brian Flanigan-Arthurs take on a range of topics, from AirTag's successful tool recovery to Google's privacy issues and Microsoft's AI integration.

We look at the automation trend in industries like fast-food chains and supermarkets and the importance of striking a balance between AI utilization for productivity gains and preserving human judgment and values in decision-making processes.
