Episode 2: Your First Conversation With AI
You don't need to be a tech person to use AI. Kate explains what an AI assistant is, what people use it for, and two safety rules: never type personal or financial details, and always check anything important. There's also a simple first chat to try, plus a challenge for the week.

1. Welcome to AI in Real Life
AI is changing work, money, and confidence for women 40+ — and most of the coverage isn't talking to you about it. In this first episode, Kate lays out why this show exists, what you can expect every fortnight, and the research on AI's "competence penalty" that's kicking off the conversation. Ten minutes, no jargon, no doom-scrolling required.
