As podcasters and audio creators, we're riding the wave and inventing the next wave of a technological revolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a buzzword—it's not someday, it’s TODAY. AI is reshaping the way we think about and do content creation, offering tools that can elevate our craft and amplify our voices. I'm Jeneba Wint, an AI educator, futurist, speaker, author, and creative technologist, and I'm here to guide you through this AI wave, especially if you're a Black woman or an underrepresented creator looking to make your mark.
The Soft Life of Podcasting—Building Your AI Toolkit
AI isn't just for tech giants; it's for creators like you and me. It's about working smarter, not harder—embracing what I call "Soft Life Podcasting." This approach leverages AI to streamline your workflow, enhance your creativity, and free up time for what truly matters: your unique voice and message. I always say, “AI is Artificial Intelligence x Human Intelligence = Enhanced and Amplified intelligence. I believe AI is the great equalizer and the great opportunity maker. It’s a waymaker and it’s like the new real estate, gold, or oil.
