About the episode

About The Episode:

JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu step outside the US "AI bubble" to examine how artificial intelligence adoption varies dramatically across the globe. With 72% global adoption but Latin America trailing at 40%, the hosts reveal a stark digital divide shaped by infrastructure, culture, and economic realities. They explore why agentic AI remains in its "first inning" globally despite executive enthusiasm, how workplace dynamics differ between regions where AI replaces $50K vs $20K salaries, and why countries like China and Singapore are embedding AI into K-12 education while others struggle with basic computer access. This episode provides essential context for understanding AI's uneven global impact and why the US perspective doesn't tell the whole story.
