In this insightful episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Gina Cano — first-generation Latina tech executive, transformation strategist, and founder of Unapologetic Tech — to break down the myths, fears, and cultural barriers around artificial intelligence. Gina shares real-world examples of how AI is already part of our daily lives, explains why you don’t need to be “techy” to start using it, and reveals how small business owners, students, and everyday innovators can use AI to save time, reduce overwhelm, and focus on what they truly love. This conversation will shift how you view AI — from something intimidating to an empowering tool anyone can learn.

Key Takeaways:

• You’re already using AI daily — from GPS navigation to Netflix recommendations — even if you don’t realize it.

• The first step to using AI effectively is simple: be curious and start asking questions.

• AI can automate repetitive tasks like invoicing, customer follow-ups, and scheduling, freeing time for work you enjoy.

• You don’t need to understand the technical “how” of AI to benefit from it — focus on outcomes that matter to you.

• Cultural and emotional barriers can keep communities from embracing tech; breaking it down into relatable analogies makes it less intimidating.

• AI will replace some repetitive tasks, but it can’t replace creativity, problem-solving, or the ability to connect dots.

• Including diverse cultural perspectives in AI development makes the technology more accurate, inclusive, and less biased.

• It’s never too late to learn — being a lifelong student ensures you’re never “behind” in the tech conversation.

• The best way to start is to integrate AI into small, everyday tasks and build confidence over time.

• AI should be a tool that works for people, not something that replaces or controls them.
