Growing up watching Knight Rider and Star Trek, I was fascinated by KITT, intelligent computers, universal translators and technology that could understand and assist us.
Back then, it was science fiction. Today, we're getting surprisingly close.
In this episode of the Digital Rapport Podcast, I explore why I'm excited about AI — while recognising the very real concerns around jobs, misinformation, deepfakes, privacy and misuse.
For me, the most interesting question isn't simply “Will AI replace people?”
It's “What can people create when AI amplifies what they're already capable of?”
I share how I'm using AI to help turn ideas into working software, experiment creatively in areas like music, and explore the possibility of a genuinely personal AI — running on powerful devices, tailored to you and under your control.
And then there's one of my childhood dreams: the universal translator. Imagine having a natural conversation with virtually anyone, anywhere, regardless of language.
We’re moving from asking Siri simple questions towards AI systems that can understand context, take action and potentially become genuine digital collaborators.
But powerful technology has a yin and a yang. Deepfakes, misinformation, copyright, job disruption and malicious uses can't simply be ignored.
The challenge is to use AI responsibly while continuing to build, experiment and solve meaningful problems.
Are we finally entering the future that Knight Rider and Star Trek promised us? And would you want your own personal AI?
Let me know in the comments.
