Depending on who you ask, AI is either going to save the world or end it. Mikah Sargent has a different take: it's a tool, and what matters is what you do with it. Every week on Hands-On AI, Mikah tests the tools everyone's talking about and tells you the truth — what's worth your time, what isn't, and what's actually going on under the hood.

How many times this week has someone told you that you should be using AI — without ever telling you how? Mikah Sargent introduces Hands-On AI, a new podcast from TWiT.tv with short, focused episodes that explain what these tools actually do, then show you step by step how to put them to work. No buzzwords, no doom. Just practical help from one human to another.
