Common AI Misconceptions with Dr Sam Donegan

24 Aug 2025 / Ep. 40 / 55:46

AI is everywhere. Depending on where you are at on the continuum, it’s probably the thing that is either exciting you the most, confusing you the most, or scaring you the most at the moment – maybe a combination of all three.

The market is struggling with its own confusion, concerns, and fear around AI, and that makes it critical that founders challenge their own biases and misconceptions in order to effectively position products for customers in this current landscape.

Our guest for this episode is Dr Sam Donegan. Sam is the co-founder of Support Sorted and the Vice President of MLAI. You can learn more at:
