Something About AI
Alastair McDermott - HumanSpark.ai
Something About AI is about what happens when AI meets real work.
I’m Alastair McDermott, founder of HumanSpark AI. I work with businesses on AI, and I build with it myself.
Practical insights from using AI in the real world.
I spend a lot of my time helping people work out where AI is genuinely useful, where it creates new problems, and what happens when a promising experiment meets the reality of an everyday workplace.
This is not an AI news show.
In Something About AI, I share what I’m learning from building and using AI systems in my own business, alongside conversations with business leaders and practitioners who are putting AI to work in theirs.
We’ll look at what is worth automating, where human judgement still matters, how AI changes the way people work, and how you can tell whether something is actually working rather than simply looking impressive in a demo.
Some episodes are solo pieces.
