Meadows opens by presenting the results of two recent polls conducted by Radio Update, one concerning on-air talent using fake names and another regarding LinkedIn profile activity among radio decision makers. The primary discussion addresses the question of which radio jobs AI will replace first, identifying roles such as administrative staff, liner DJs, and order-taking sales representatives as being at immediate risk. Meadows advises radio professionals to fully embrace AI tools to enhance their work to keep the technology from replacing them, asserting that the vast majority of jobs across all industries will eventually be impacted by AI. He also shares a clip of the new AI-generated actress Tilly. Meadows ends with a positive note about the backlash he expects from a segment of the population to AI-generated art and content and how that could benefit radio.
