In this episode of “No Free Lunch,” host Greg Stewart engages with Nick Hudson, co-founder and chairman of PANDA (Pandemic, Data, and Analytics), to discuss the skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its perceived value. 

Nick shared some of his controversial perspectives on AI developments that cast a serious shadow over the current narratives around AI by tech companies, who claim that the future will be built on the back of AI technology.
