Recording from a little apartment in Pienza, Italy, host Ginny Deerin reads an open letter — out loud, on air — to Kevin Frazier, the law professor who wrote “Your grandma should be using AI” for Fortune magazine. She agrees with a lot of it. She has a few thoughts about the rest. And she has an invitation.

Also in this episode: Apple is planning to let iPhone users choose their own AI this fall — whether that’s Claude, Gemini, or sticking with Apple’s own. Ginny explains why more competition is actually great news for the 65+ crowd.

Two recommendations this week: why Ginny is building a life timeline with AI’s help while traveling in Italy with her siblings — and AllTrails, the hiking app that put her in the middle of a Tuscany wheat field she never would have found on her own.
