Toledo’s AI Community: Everyday Ideas, Local Projects, and Real Risks

What does AI look like beyond the headlines? In Northwest Ohio, it’s helping students build tools for cleaner streets and turning everyday ideas into working apps. Tom Bush and LeSean Shaw welcome tech community builder Keith Instone and Toledo Codes founder Justin Beaudry to explore local projects, the changing nature of work, and ways to get involved even if you don’t consider yourself a tech person. They also discuss why human judgment, data security, and sensible limits matter when using AI. From AI office hours to neighborhood experiments, this conversation offers a local starting point for curious and skeptical listeners alike.
