In a conversation that is equal parts practical and eye-opening, Jeff shows how AI can plan your weekly meals from a photo of your fridge, review your investment portfolio, teach you Italian pronunciation, and turn a two-month coding project into two days of work. He also addresses the pitfalls, the guardrails, and the bigger questions AI raises for Vancouver Island communities and beyond. https://jeffshieldstalks.ca/(08:21) Monique Gray Smith, award-winning author of Cree and Scottish descent, joins The PULSE to discuss her latest book, Sharing the Light: Stories and Reflections.
