In Episode 059 of AI or Not The Podcast, with special guest LaRhonda Julien, we explore energy access, electrification on Native lands, and why reliable power is still out of reach for some families in the United States. The conversation also looks at how AI can support funding, permitting, and infrastructure planning, while still requiring transparency, trust, and human judgment. From community engagement to ethical technology and leadership, this episode is a reminder that innovation works best when it serves people first.
