Doug Thompson, Chief Education Architect at Tanium, joins Zach on the pod today. As a selftitled nerd, Doug has always been curious about technology, and he loves teaching almost as much as he loves tech. He combined these passions early in his career at Microsoft, where part of his job as a presales engineer was educating clients about #GenerativeAI (really just #MachineLearning at the time). 

Now at Tanium, Doug has a unique platform to evangelize #GenAI and educate users about the potential benefits and pitfalls. He believes strongly that GenAI will never take the place of the human workforce, but even still, developers and workers from all industries should spend the time #AI saves to grow their skillsets. Anything that AI produces needs some "seasoning" (a human touch), and Doug hopes we don't become lazy and lose that hard work and effort no matter how far AI can take us.
