Episode Transcription
Actor Bryan Cranston speaking at a SAG-AFTRA strike rally in Times Square in New York City on July 25, 2023: Uh, we’ve got a message for Mr. Iger. I know, sir, that you look through things through a different lens. We don’t expect you to understand who we are, but we ask you to hear us, and beyond that, to listen to us when we tell you we will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots.
Paul Jarley: The real issue, Bryan, is whether the AI listens and understands us.
This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I’m Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I’ve got lots of questions.

In our last episode, we explored the current writers and actor’s strikes and how the parties might come to some agreement to get everyone back to work
