In today’s episode of AI for Everyone Podcast, Harrison Painter breaks down three powerful stories shaping the future of AI:
AI in Schools — Why civil rights leaders are pressing the Department of Education to put safeguards in place before classrooms adopt new tech.
Epic’s AI Assistants — How one of the largest healthcare platforms is embedding AI directly into patient care and what that means for doctors and patients.

I’ve been dumping my daily videos into this feed and calling it a podcast. Let’s be honest , that’s lazy.
The episodes were not built for audio. It wasn’t built for you. And it shows.
So I'm starting over and getting back to basics. Creating what a dedicated podcast should be all about.
Today's episode is about AI in education and a study out of Hong Kong that actually made me stop and think. Not about tools, bit about the role people play as AI moves forward. This is about how we teach, how we think, and why soft skills matter more than ever.
You ready? Let's go!!!

In this episode, we unpack the controversy behind Vogue’s latest Guess ad featuring an AI-generated model. What does it mean when perfection is manufactured — not photographed? We explore the impact on beauty standards, mental health, and the future of real representation in media. This isn’t just about fashion. It’s about what happens when the ideal face is one that no one actually has.
What would happen if David Ogilvy, the “Father of Advertising,” sat down with today’s AI tools? In this episode, we break down three timeless Ogilvy lessons that still shape effective marketing — from why research matters more than ever to the power of headlines and selling benefits instead of features. You will also get a ready-to-use AI prompt template built in Ogilvy’s style to help you create smarter campaigns that resonate with real people.

AI isn’t just shaping our future, it’s now caught in the middle of America’s culture wars. On July 23, 2025, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to ban what he calls “woke AI” from federal government use. The order directly challenges how companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic design their AI models, raising questions about bias, truth, and the role of ideology in technology.What HappenedTrump issued an executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.”It prohibits federal agencies from using large language models (LLMs) that incorporate what the order labels as “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bias.”The policy establishes two “Unbiased AI Principles”:Agencies have 120 days to comply with procurement guidelines that enforce these rules.Why It MattersThis order isn’t about regulating private AI tools directly but redefines what kind of AI the federal government will purchase. For companies that rely on federal contracts, it forces a choice:Adjust their models to meet the “neutrality” test, orRisk losing access to lucrative government deals.It also creates a sharp contrast with Biden’s 2023 AI Executive Order, which emphasized safety, fairness, and civil rights protections, including DEI principles.How It Impacts YouIf you run a business using AI tools: Expect potential shifts in how vendors design their models, particularly if they aim to align with federal standards.For tech companies: Compliance requirements may increase, with potential audits or transparency demands around how bias is handled in AI systems.For marketers and executives: This could reshape AI-generated content, especially when accuracy and neutrality are prioritized over cultural or inclusive representation.Three Key TakeawaysGovernment AI contracts will favor “neutral” models, potentially pushing major vendors to release alternative, compliance-focused versions of their tools.The order frames DEI as a source of bias, which could set a new precedent in how AI ethics are defined and debated in the U.S.Businesses may see ripple effects if vendors update or limit AI features to align with these federal requirements.One More ThingThis is more than an AI policy. This is a sign of how deeply politics and culture wars are shaping the technology we use every day. The bigger question isn’t just whether AI is “woke” or “neutral,” but who decides what counts as truth?~Harrison PainterAI Expert Trainer
The U.S. Department of Education just proposed something bold — a new funding priority that centers equity in AI education.
In this episode, we break down what this proposal really means, who it affects, and why it could shift how AI shows up in schools, prisons, nonprofits, and beyond.
We’ll talk about:
Why AI literacy is the new DEI
What rural schools and under-resourced communities need most
How to rethink your AI projects through an equity lens
And the question we all need to ask: who are we building for?
This isn’t about politics. It’s about power, access, and what kind of future we’re building.
Let’s make sure no one gets left behind.
OpenAI’s new executive says AI will be “the greatest source of empowerment for all.” Meta is naming its models after Greek gods. And we’re letting chatbots guide our health, creativity, and even emotions.
In this episode, we ask a simple but urgent question:
Are we crossing the line from using AI… to trusting it too much?
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about theology. It’s about identity. And it’s about the stories we’re letting shape our worth.
Whether you’re a business owner, church leader, educator, or parent—this conversation matters.
Because power without perspective turns tools into idols.
~Harrison Painter
In this episode, we explore a growing trend that’s quietly reshaping health care — patients are using AI tools like ChatGPT to self-diagnose before ever speaking to a doctor.
Backed by new global survey data, we unpack what this shift means for clinicians, trust, and the future of care delivery.
If you lead a team, run a practice, or work in any client-facing field, this conversation will hit home. Because health care isn’t the only industry where AI is becoming the first opinion.
A growing number of people are using AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude as digital trip sitters. Turning to them during heavy mushroom trips, LSD journeys, and ketamine therapy. Some say it’s calming. Others say it’s reckless.
In this episode, Harrison Painter explores what’s driving the trend, what it reveals about our need for connection, and why some experts are raising red flags.
Because this isn’t just about psychedelics. It’s about who we trust when we’re at our most vulnerable and whether the voice on the other end should be synthetic.

Researchers are now embedding invisible text into academic papers to manipulate AI-powered peer reviews. Not students. Not scammers. Scientists.
In this episode, Harrison breaks down how this tactic works, where it came from, and why it matters for every leader using AI to vet reports, résumés, or content.
This isn’t just a glitch in the system. It’s a signal. If AI is doing the reviewing, people will try to game the reviewer.
We’re entering a new era of hidden influence. Don’t fall for it.

Publishers are panicking.
They’re suing OpenAI, blocking ChatGPT, and locking down their websites like it’s 2009.
But here’s what they’re missing:
This isn’t just a copyright battle.
It’s a visibility war.
In this episode, we break down:
– How AI is becoming the new search engine
– Why blocking GPTBot is like blackballing yourself from Google
– What creators and businesses must do to stay relevant
– And how open content is quietly winning the future
If you publish anything — blogs, newsletters, podcasts, videos — this one’s for you.
The fight isn’t about protecting your content.
It’s about making sure anyone — human or machine — can still find it.
Listen in.
This is happening. You ready?
AI didn’t just write a script. It impersonated the U.S. Secretary of State. Real messages. Real voice. Fake everything.
In this episode:
– What really happened with the Rubio impersonation
– How deepfake threats are evolving
– Why this matters for business, politics, and trust
– What you can do to stay ahead
This isn’t a glitch. It’s the future knocking.
The question is—will you recognize it?
Over the July 4th weekend, cities in California used drones to quietly record people lighting fireworks. Weeks later, fines showed up in their mailboxes — up to $10,000 per violation. No knock. No warning. Just surveillance.
In this episode, we break down what actually happened, why it matters far beyond fireworks, and how it signals the next phase of AI enforcement.
This isn’t about tech. It’s about power. And how quietly it shifts.

A new study reveals that 1 in 7 biomedical research papers in 2024 may have been written or edited by AI. But the real problem isn’t plagiarism.
It’s persuasion.
AI makes the writing sound more confident. More polished. More human than human. And that’s exactly why we trust it — even when we shouldn’t.
In this episode, we unpack:
The linguistic fingerprints of ChatGPT in academic writing
Why confident language earns our belief
How this shift could quietly rewrite science, business, and policy
If the tone is what convinces us, who’s really doing the thinking?
