Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to tech conferences and corporate boardrooms. Thanks in part to innovators like Aisha Corpas Wynn and Lana Hout, AI is finding its way into classrooms, podcasts, films, and everyday conversations.
Aisha Corpas Wynn and Lana Hout
The Los Angeles-based duo behind The AI Chicks podcast has spent the last several years building a platform dedicated to making artificial intelligence understandable for mainstream audiences. Through engaging conversations and practical insights, they’ve developed a reputation as two of the most approachable voices in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Today, their influence reaches far beyond podcasting.
Their perspective is grounded in years of hands-on work. Wynn is an Emmy-nominated executive producer whose work spans HBO, Showtime, and iHeart, now applying AI across media and entertainment. Hout is an award-winning M&A advisor who integrates AI into strategy, marketing, and operations.
The AI Chicks are at the center of a growing movement that blends technology, entertainment, and education. Their latest initiative, The AI Ready Curriculum, is bringing AI education directly into schools, helping students understand the technology that will shape future careers and industries. The curriculum is launching in multiple schools across the country and is supported by a companion online learning course and the AI Ready book, now available on Amazon, giving students, professionals, and curious learners alike more than one way to get started.
The educational expansion reflects the mission that first inspired the podcast: making AI less intimidating and within reach for everyone, not just those who work in tech.
At the same time, Wynn and Hout are helping redefine how AI is used in entertainment.
The AI Chicks developed Eleven, an AI avatar who joins the Sozahdah sisters as a fifth co-host on the vodcast Sispective, with the sisters directing how she looks, speaks, and behaves. It’s an early glimpse of how AI personalities may become part of future media.
“I’ve spent my career in entertainment, and AI is gradually changing how stories get made, from the development to the final edit,” says Wynn. “I’m glad to be a part of the leaders helping people get educated about AI and implementing it responsibly.”
Their presence is also making its way to the big screen.
The AI Chicks appear in the short film tAInted love, a dark comedy exploring modern romance in a world populated by AI companions. Playing tech-focused commentators who help establish the film’s futuristic premise, Wynn and Hout bring authenticity to a story that asks increasingly relevant questions about loneliness, connection, and humanity’s relationship with technology. tAInted love went on to win the Grand Prize at the 11th Annual Stage 32 Short Film Contest and screened at the Next Step Film Festival in Cannes, with Wynn, Hout, and director Lisa Steadman on hand.
