Everyone talks about AI saving time. The more interesting question is what happens when people get that time back. Do they simply get through more work, or can they do things that were not possible before? Adele Felsch takes Lisa and Louis inside how one of the world's largest wine companies answered that.
AI is making small businesses more productive than ever, and it is giving cybercriminals better tools at the same time.

Emily Sahhar spends her working life in that gap, and in this episode she closes it.

Ariella was a medical student telling doctors about her own migraines and being told it was anxiety. That experience is the reason Ovum AI exists. She built the health platform she needed as a patient, using her training as a doctor, and it now tracks things about women's bodies that traditional medicine has never measured in one place.
