On this Strathmore University 3-episode series, we were honored to interview and record computer science, 3rd year students, led by their lecturer Mr Daniel Machanje.

The recordings were done in 3 different classes, full of Mr Machanje's students who warmly welcomed us.

This first episode covers Mr Machanje's thoughts on AI from a lecturer's perspective and his experience on how students interact with it.

The release of the Pixel 8 series of phones saw the announcement of some AI-powered photo editing features. In this episode we talk about them and some interesting philosophical questions.
