Power, infrastructure, and the strategic shifts shaping the next decade of AI. Rowan Hale and Naya Brooks cut through the hype to show you who's really in control.
"AI is quietly restructuring business, institutions, and global platforms — and most people haven't noticed yet."
Rowan Hale hosts The AI Desk, a twice-weekly podcast focused on power, infrastructure, and the strategic shifts shaping the next decade of AI.
Each episode cuts through hype and noise to unpack how artificial intelligence is quietly restructuring business, institutions and global platforms — and who gains control in the process.
The AI Desk is curated by humans with expertise in hi-tech and a deep interest in how technology reshapes power.
"Every AI headline sounds bigger than it is. The real story is always who ends up with more work, more cost, or less choice because of it."
Naya Brooks is the sharp-witted co-host who challenges every headline and keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to real people.
Where Rowan zooms out on systems, power, and the long shifts reshaping the industry, Naya zooms in — pressing for the human angle on every story. What does this actually do to jobs, to small businesses, to the way ordinary people spend their time?
Her questions keep the show useful instead of abstract, turning even the densest AI news into something you can use on a Monday morning.
