On this episode of The AI Readiness Project, we sit down with Marline Paul, a powerful voice for accessibility in AI education. Marline shares how she pivoted from the classroom to entrepreneurship, why AI is her best (and snarkiest) co-worker, and how she brings her educatorโ€™s mindset to help others understand tools without feeling overwhelmed.

Kyle and Anne also explore the broader impact of human-centered AI projects, including the heartwarming story of Brandon Tiddโ€™s custom GPT designed to support people affected by SNAP benefit changes, and Daisy Thomasโ€™ unexpected use of that GPT to create a nutritious grocery plan on a shoestring budget. From musicals inspired by AI relationships to kids turning beach games into video games, this episode reminds us that when people lead with curiosity and care, AI can help us build stronger connections and more creative lives.
