About this listen

 AI is already in every boardroom, every strategy meeting, and present at every dinner party conversation nowadays. And most leaders are nodding along hoping no one asks THEM to go deeper. Dr. Deitra Sawh, Ph.D. breaks down exactly how AI thinks by comparing it to how you already think. No fancy tech jargon. Just the kind of understanding that makes you the most informed person in the room. We Are the Machines is the podcast for business leaders and professionals who want to understand artificial intelligence, large language models, and the real impact of AI on work and decision-making.Dr. Deitra Sawh, Ph.D.

    O Canada
    Mar 10 2026

    In 2018, Canada changed the words to O Canada. Most Canadians still get it wrong.

    That's not a memory problem. It's the same mechanism that powers ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and every large language model running inside your business right now.

    In this episode, Dr. Deitra Sawh, PhD uses one of the most familiar songs you know to explain exactly how AI generates language - and hands you two things you can use immediately: how to write prompts that actually work, and how to spot an AI-written resume in a hiring stack.

    You'll walk away able to explain this to anyone.
