About this listen

In this "Hot Topic" episode of Frank Talk, Dr. Cheryl Frankeny, along with guest and colleague Joe Baucum, explores the 2026 AI landscape, comparing the technology to a powerful but unpredictable stallion that must be tamed by "thought leaders". They navigate the tension between AI's massive breakthroughs—like solving protein folding mysteries with AlphaFold—and the risks of "AI slop" and legal hallucinations that have plagued major news outlets and airlines. By examining real-world success stories from companies like Starbucks and Cohere, the duo outlines how leaders can move past fear or blind gambling to implement high-value, industrial-grade AI strategies that deliver actual ROI while maintaining human oversight.
