In this episode of the "Y aquí entre nos" podcast, hosts Speaker B and Moni Matuk welcome guest Pepe Matuk, an IT‑services professional based in Dallas and brother of Moni. The conversation begins with Pepe’s personal story: a disengaged student who built makeshift helicopters in class, ran a school video‑production venture, and eventually chose engineering after a brief flirtation with medicine and a stint in electronics repair. He studied electronic and communications engineering, worked in manufacturing, then moved into managed‑services and sales roles at large tech firms such as Softtek, where he learned to act as a bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams. Pepe explains that artificial intelligence is not a brand‑new phenomenon; his company has been applying algorithmic intelligence since before ChatGPT, using predictive models for hotel occupancy and fraud detection. He notes both positive uses (improving forecasting accuracy, detecting credit‑card anomalies) and the current hype‑driven push where executives demand AI for its own sake, sometimes leading to staff cuts or unrealistic expectations. The hosts shift to the impact on jobs: the World Economic Forum predicts 69 % of organizations will hire AI‑skill talent while 41 % will reduce staff. Pepe stresses the need for people who can translate business goals into technical language, a skill he honed early in his career. He also mentions the emerging role of Chief Learning Officer to upskill employees. Education is a major focus. Pepe and the hosts argue that schools must move away from rote memorisation toward project‑based, hands‑on learning, teaching technical communication, ethics, and the purpose‑driven use of AI. They advocate lifelong learning, certifications from cloud providers, and exposing students to tools like Canva, Nanobanana, and low‑code “bike‑coding” platforms. Pepe challenges listeners to create a small AI‑powered application that solves a real problem, sharing his own habit of swapping gaming time for language learning. The episode closes with resource recommendations (Tim Ferriss’s The 4‑Hour Workweek, Bill Gates’s Gates Notes, the Founders podcast) and a playful “homework” assignment for the audience to prototype an AI‑assisted solution. Overall, the episode blends personal anecdotes, industry insights, and concrete advice for educators, employers, and learners navigating an AI‑infused future.
