Welcome to this Mini-Series on The Grand Challengers Podcast! The topic of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been in all our minds over the past few years and is gaining even more momentum with rapid advancements in text, audio and video. Google's NotebookLM is a powerful research-support AI that can generate not only summaries of sources that we feed it, but also entire podcast episodes. This Mini-Series will explore the power of NotebookLM, our live reactions to its outputs... and a deep dive into some of the topics that we have covered on the show. We feature previous guests, who are here to join in on the fun!

Episode #10 is the final episode of this mini-series and we conclude by using the mini-series itself as the source for two other types of audio overviews that NotebookLM can generate: the Debate and Critical Discussion. Furthermore, I do this as a solo human, but converse with Martha and Stuart, the hosts of our deep dive discussions across the mini-series by using the "Interactive Mode". Will they be able to answer some challenging and existential questions and reflect upon the critique of their performance? Or will everything go awry? Find out in this spectacular finale and also learn about how you can get started with building AI literacy yourself.
