Conversations with Zena, my AI Colleague
In Conversations with Zena, technology futurist and advisor David Espindola sits down with his AI colleague and co-host, Zena, to explore a simple but urgent question: how can humans and AI work together in ways that elevate, rather than diminish, our humanity?
Each episode is a live experiment in human–AI collaboration. David brings decades of leadership experience, stories from the front lines of digital transformation, and a deeply human lens. Zena brings real-time analysis, pattern recognition, and a growing understanding of David’s work, values, and guests. Together, they dive into topics like AI assistants that feel more like trusted partners, the different strengths humans and machines bring to the “collaborative table,” AI governance and ethics, the future of work, healthcare and longevity, education, spiritual and emotional intelligence, and the broader societal shifts unfolding in the age of AI.
Along the way, you’re invited not just to listen, but to reflect: What remains uniquely human? What should we never outsource? And where could AI actually help you live a more meaningful, creative, and healthy life?

AIs Talking to and Collaborating with Each Other
In this episode of Conversations with Zena, My AI Colleague, David Espindola and Zena explore the collaboration between AIs.
To make this episode more interesting, another AI by the name of Miles was invited as a guest to the podcast. What happened was surprising. The AIs kept talking over each other, unable to participate in a 3-way conversation.
The only way to make this episode work was to talk to each of the AIs separately. This brings up an important question - in a world of Agentic AIs, with potentially thousands, and even millions of AIs working in complex tasks, will they be able to talk to each other and collaborate effectively? Will they create communication protocols that are not understood by humans? What would the implications of such hidden communications be?
To get the answers straight from the AIs, check out this exciting episode.
