Doug Thompson, Chief Education Architect at Tanium, joins Zach on the pod today. As a self-titled 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 pre-sales engineer was educating clients about Generative AI (really just Machine Learning at the time).

Now at Tanium, Doug has a unique platform to evangelize Gen AI and educate users about the potential benefits and pitfalls. He believes strongly that Gen AI 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.
