For the week of Aug. 9, 2026:“You can’t be part of any conversation, these days, without it going to AI pretty quickly,” says Kris Krug, executive director of the B.C. + AI Ecosystem Association.

Krug hosts monthly Vancouver AI Community Meetups, a forum for techies, artists, activists, entrepreneurs and the curious to make sense of the opportunities and drawbacks of the technology.

The latest meetup was July 29 and featured guest speaker Dave Olson, mixed media storyteller and tech innovator now living in Japan. Krug and Olson are Bob Mackin’s guest on this edition of thePodcast.
