About Hands-On AI (Audio)
Hands-On AI explores and explains artificial intelligence — and shows you how to actually use it. Because AI is exactly that: a tool, and like any tool, what matters is what you do with it. In short, focused episodes, Mikah Sargent takes you inside the technology reshaping how we work, create, and communicate. Learn what's really happening inside a large language model, run AI entirely on your own hardware, put the AI already in your pocket to work, and discover uses you hadn't thought of. No buzzwords, no doom — just practical, hands-on help from one human to another. Submit your AI questions through email at handsonai@twit.tv (mailto:handsonai@twit.tv) or via TWiT's social media. You might hear your question answered on the show! New episodes every Thursday.
