In this episode, host Michael Dowden sits down with John Davies, CTO of Incept 5, to unpack what he calls the “utterly crazy” pace of AI innovation. They explore the rise of vibe coding, where developers shift from writing code to orchestrating AI bots, and where fully functional apps can be built in days instead of months. But with this acceleration comes new responsibility: privacy risks, private vs. public LLMs, and the critical role of human-led QA in high-stakes industries like finance and healthcare.\n\nThe conversation also examines how AI is reshaping job roles, democratizing development, and moving the real bottleneck from coding to creativity. Davies argues that AI won’t replace developers, but developers who use AI will replace those who don’t.

To understand the delicate relationship between man and machine we require a radical shift of common perceptions. Perceptions of what machines have influence over, and how "content" connects all digital experiences we assume are poignant.
