Your AI Injection

What if the camera caught it, but nobody was watching? 

In this episode of Your AI Injection, Deep Dhillon explores the hidden vulnerability in school security with Egor Olteanu, co-founder and COO of Volt AI. Despite having dozens of cameras installed, most schools have zero people actively monitoring them, meaning emergencies go unnoticed until it's too late. Egor shares powerful stories of lives saved by AI surveillance, from a student having a seizure in an empty hallway to a janitor bleeding from a head injury after hours. Together, they examine how Volt AI's system tracks threats across multiple cameras in real-time, stitching together location data and video to guide responders to moving incidents. 

But the conversation turns provocative as they debate ethical boundaries: Should AI detect drug use? Where does health and safety end and authoritarianism begin? Deep challenges Egor on whether founders can maintain moral clarity when profit pressures mount. Tune in for a fascinating discussion about the razor's edge between protection and surveillance.

Can AI spot diseases your doctor might miss?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with RJ Kedziora, co-founder of Estenda Solutions, to explore how AI is transforming medical diagnosis and why human doctors might soon be irresponsible not to use it. RJ shares how his company has spent 20+ years developing AI systems that detect diabetic retinopathy by scanning the back of your eye, often catching what human readers miss. They discuss the Joslyn Vision Network's deployment of 100+ cameras across Native American communities, ambient listening tools that free doctors from endless paperwork, and the challenge of creating "smell test repositories" to detect Parkinson's and Alzheimer's years earlier. 

And as RJ points out, humans get tired, forget research, and take 6-7 years to diagnose rare diseases like lupus, while AI never sleeps. The two explore whether we're headed toward a future where refusing AI assistance becomes a medical injustice, and what happens when machines prove just as reliable as even the most experienced specialists.

When machines master empathy, do humans forget how to feel?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, Deep Dhillon chats with Niv Sundaram of Machani Robotics to explore RIA, the humanoid companion designed to cultivate personalized, empathetic, meaningful conversations with patients. With 32 facial actuators, multimodal sensors, and therapy-trained LLMs, RIA is capable of reading subtle facial expressions and responds accordingly, helping alleviate the burnout experienced by overworked caregivers.

Deep and Niv also dive into the broader ethical implications of AI companions. If these machines excel at providing unconditional, positive support, will future generations lose the capacity for the challenging (but essential) work of human relationships?

Will AI eliminate 90% of QA jobs within the next two years? 

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Kevin Surace, CEO of Appvance.ai and 30-year AI veteran. Kevin doesn't sugarcoat it. His platform replaces manual testers and scripters as enterprise CFOs demand measurable headcount reductions as ROI. Kevin explains how his platform autonomously generates millions of regression tests, and the two dive deep into the technical mechanics of digital twins, AI script generation, and the brutal economics driving enterprise adoption. 

What happens to society when knowledge work gets automated at scale? Kevin and Deep explore whether we're heading toward mass unemployment or a new economic paradigm, touching on everything from insurance claims adjusters to the future of human purpose in an AI-dominated world.

Could AI be the ultimate wingman for life's most emotional decisions?

In this episode, Deep Dhillon chats with co-founder of Budy, Samay Kohli, about revolutionizing one of America's most relationship-driven industries: senior living sales. Samay explains how Budy, his AI sales assistant, helps communities navigate the complex, often heartbreaking process of moving seniors into care facilities, a journey that can span three years and involve families wrestling with tough emotions like denial, guilt, and fear. The conversation explores how AI can remember that for example someone's vacation was postponed due to a health scare, enabling salespeople to show genuine care at scale. Deep and Samay tackle the ethical implications of AI-enhanced empathy and whether there's a difference between authentic care and algorithmically-optimized compassion.

Could a split-second seat-shake save a life at 70 mph?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon chats with with Gareth Bathers, Head of Data at EXEROS Technologies, to unpack the eye-tracking, seat-vibrating AI keeping long-haul drivers alive. Gareth reveals how a retrofit camera kit slashed one fleet’s crashes by ~86%, why a two-second blink triggers an instant haptic jolt, and how human analysts still sift the footage for ethical red flags. From calibration phases that build driver trust to blind-spot AI trained on rainy London streets, the conversation explores whether shaking drivers awake is a stop-gap, or the future of commercial road safety.

Are most companies accidentally sabotaging their AI transformation? 

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Tahnee Perry, AI advisor at A25, to expose why ~95% of companies are using ChatGPT but still failing spectacularly at AI implementation. Tahnee reveals how organizations are stuck in "Wild West" mode, with rogue employees experimenting randomly while leadership throws around AI buzzwords like it’s a magic bullet. She shares examples of teams cutting translation costs by $100,000 in 45 minutes and why the hunt-and-peck workers of today should be rethinking their career paths. Deep and Tahnee explore whether formal AI training is the difference between thriving and floundering in the next economic shift.

Can AI understand our relationship with food better than we do?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Dr. Sera Lavelle, clinical psychologist and CEO of Bea Better Eating, to explore how AI is revolutionizing our approach to emotional eating. Dr. Lavelle explains why traditional calorie-counting apps fail to address the psychological triggers that cause us to reach for cookies after a stressful day. She reveals how her app fills a crucial gap between diet advice and clinical therapy, helping users identify when they're eating from emotion rather than hunger. The two dive into the ethical challenges of developing AI for mental health, including how to responsibly direct users to human therapists when necessary. Will AI become our most trusted confidant for the feelings we're too ashamed to share with nutritionists or therapists? Tune in to discover how machine learning might become the missing ingredient in breaking destructive eating cycles.

Is traditional coding already a thing of the past?

In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Laly Bar-Ilan, Chief Scientist at Bit, to explore a near-future where software developers evolve from code writers into code orchestrators. Laly discusses how Bit's composable software development and AI-powered componentization are set to overhaul the industry, even possibly eliminating the need for writing code altogether. The discussion leads into how a graph of reusable components could tame sprawling, out-of-control code bases, the ethical nuances of automated development, and what it really means to “orchestrate” code. Tune in now to uncover whether tomorrow’s developers will simply curate AI outputs, or continue the tradition of writing lines of code themselves.
