We’re Jessica and Kimberly – two non-computer scientists who are just as curious (and skeptical) about generative AI as you are. Each episode, we chat with people from different backgrounds to hear how they’re making sense of AI. We keep it real, skip the jargon, and explore it with the curiosity of researchers and the openness of learners.
Subscribe to our channel if you’re also interested in understanding AI behind the headlines.
Jessica is a researcher, serial entrepreneur, and educator. Her work explores how intelligence is taught, shared, and shaped — especially as generative AI reshapes what it means to learn, mentor, and build expertise. She loves taking deep dives into new topics and sharing what she learns with anyone who will listen.
When she's not recording, you can find her reading a book, rescuing a cat, gardening, or going on an adventure.
Kimberly is a linguist in the wild. She left academia to start a consulting business (which turned into a tech company). When that business closed, she decided to try something totally new and now works in nonprofit marketing. Her specialty is making complex information make sense. With a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics & Technology, she his able to use her communication skills in diverse (and sometimes unexpected) settings.
She enjoys practicing yoga, gardening, reading about sci-fi and spirituality, and hiking with her two mini poodles, George & Holly.
