Ghost in the Machine

Andrew comes in as the optimist who builds AI products for a living. Liz takes the skeptic seat with the harder questions, the ones about who gets left behind. In episode one they get into what most people are not saying. The 24 month question every leader should be asking before they buy another tool. Why AI in 2026 is the Model T of computing. What happens to call centers in the Philippines, dating in a full-AI generation, and the executive team that keeps shooting itself in the foot during rollouts. Plus the term Liz coined live that Andrew refused to let slide: AI washing.

What is Ghost in the Machine?

The AI conversation, without the noise.

Every week, Andrew DeGood and Liz Short sit down for a thirty-minute conversation about artificial intelligence. Andrew comes in as the optimist, a founder building AI products and betting his career on where this technology is headed. Liz brings the harder questions, the ones about what we lose, what we risk, and what we owe the people who didn't sign up for any of this.

They bring in the people actually shaping the field. Researchers, founders, ethicists, skeptics, builders. Real conversations about real implications. No hype cycles. No doom loops. Just two smart people and a guest trying to figure out what this moment actually means.
