Gradient Descent is a podcast for people asking better questions about emerging technology.

Hosted by RavenTek’s Chris Riordan, Brett Lucas, and Brett Haupt, the show explores artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, leadership, and software development through thoughtful conversations that challenge assumptions rather than reinforce them.

We aren’t interested in repeating the latest buzzwords or predicting that every new technology will save the world or destroy it. Instead, we explore the space between the hype and the fear, sharing practical perspectives for leaders navigating an increasingly complex world.
