Why the most effective communicators help people see not just what's changing, but why it matters to them.For Sinéad Bovell, effective communication isn't just about explaining what's coming next—it's about giving people the confidence and agency to engage with it.Bovell is a futurist, founder of the tech education company WAYE, and an expert advisor to the United Nations AI Advisory Body. Known for making complex topics accessible to broad audiences, she has spent years helping leaders, organizations, and young people understand the implications of artificial intelligence and other transformative technologies. Her approach starts with a simple principle: meet people where they are and connect big ideas to what matters in their lives. “If you scare people too much, if you disempower them, [and] they do unsubscribe from the very activities you need them to lean into.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bovell joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to communicate complexity without overwhelming people and why skills like adaptability and judgment are becoming more valuable in the age of AI. From making emerging technologies more accessible to building trust through relevance and empathy, they discuss what it takes to help audiences engage with change rather than fear it.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Sinéad BovellConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:00) - Explaining Complex Ideas (03:48) - The Future of Soft Skills (06:52) - Talking About AI Without Fear (10:33) - Storytelling for Young Audiences (12:46) - Reaching Young Audiences (15:01) - Career Pivots & Reinvention (16:53) - Becoming a Better Communicator (18:59) - The Final Three Questions (25:09) - Conclusion

In this episode we chat with Rebecca for the second time about: intelligence isn't everything, are LLM's even safe? AI governance and guardrails, moral assurance, under-specification problems, lack of interdisciplinary work in robotics, AI shouldn't be sold as a solution to everything, sidelining of AI Ethics, what are the actual benefits of AI? will AI progress widen inequality? and more...

This week, Anthropic filed for an IPO following a valuation of nearly $1 trillion, which would make it one of the largest IPOs in history. On this week's On the Media, the company's marketing campaign to position it as the “good guy” of AI. Plus, what a literary AI scandal reveals about our vanishing ability to tell what's human and what's not.  [01:00]  Micah speaks with Brian Merchant, a tech journalist and author of the book and newsletter Blood in the Machine, about Anthropic's successful positioning of itself as the “ethical AI company,” even gaining themselves a seat at the table when the Pope debuted his encyclical on AI, and how fostering this image seems to be paying off in the form of a massive valuation and upcoming IPO. [16:18] Micah sits down with Vauhini Vara, a contributing writer for The Atlantic and the author of Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age, on the infiltration of AI into literature, and how publishing and journalism have entered a new era of trying to keep AI writing at bay.  [27:51] Brooke talks with David Garrett, founder of the new non-profit the Institute for Primary Facts, about the pop-up exhibit he organized in New York City that displayed over 3,400 printed volumes of the Epstein files, and how he intends it to be a “pressure campaign” for accountability. Plus, Andrea Sterling, an online content creator and a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, on the impact of seeing the files in real life.

About ZviMy history with Zvi Mowshowitz goes back over 20 years to our days as teammates on the Magic Pro Tour, where we won a Grand Prix and top-8ed a Pro Tour together. After his competitive gaming career and a stint designing games at Wizards of the Coast and heading up a Cyberpunk TCG design team in Denver, Zvi took his unique systems-thinking mind into high-stakes finance. He managed risk as a professional bookmaker in sports betting, traded crypto for a hedge fund, and worked quantitative trading desks at firms like Jane Street. Today, he's focused his incredible intellect on the world of artificial intelligence, writing five times a week at his blog, Don't Worry About the Vase, tracking the breakneck evolution of large language models and the critical safety challenge of AI alignment. In this episode, we dive deep into the math of pattern recognition, our wild days on the Pro Tour, the high-stress realities of trading, and how to navigate the massive societal shifts coming with AI. Zvi delivers insights on rationality and adaptability that will resonate with anyone trying to think clearly in a rapidly changing world. This is a public episode.

Somewhere in your organization, an AI decision is sitting on someone's desk right now. Who owns it? In most mid-market companies, nobody does — or rather, it's landed on the IT leader who was already doing three other jobs.In this episode of The Catalyst, we follow Jeremy Wight, CTO of CareMessage — a patient engagement platform serving 22 million low-income patients across the US — who had to write his organization's AI policy himself. No committee. No playbook. Just the weight of getting it right for some of the most vulnerable people in the healthcare system.Alongside Jeremy, we hear from Reid Blackman, author of The Ethical Nightmare Challenge and founder of Virtue, who argues that the standard policy-first approach to AI governance is already broken — and offers a framework any team can implement in weeks, not years. Olivia Gambelin, AI ethicist and author of Responsible AI, reframes the vendor selection question entirely: it's not about auditing their product, it's about whether their values align with yours. And Anthony Vinci, former intelligence officer and author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, draws an unexpected parallel — between the integrity required of a spy with no rulebook, and the integrity required of an IT leader doing the same.====This episode is brought to you by HPE.From AI to data center and network modernization, HPE delivers a cloud-like experience right on your own infrastructure — the full portfolio, from one partner. softchoice.com/technology-partners/hewlett-packard-enterprise ====In this episode:Why the policy-first approach to AI governance is broken — and what to do insteadA practical three-question framework any team can implement this weekHow to evaluate AI vendors by values alignment, not just product capabilityWhat it actually looks like when one IT leader has to make these calls alone — with 22 million patients on the lineFeatured guests: Jeremy Wight (CTO, CareMessage) • Reid Blackman (Founder/CEO, Virtue) • Olivia Gambelin (AI Ethicist & Author) • Anthony Vinci (CEO, VICO) • Craig McQueen (VP Microsoft Practice, Softchoice)#AIEthics #ResponsibleAI #ITLeadership #AIGovernance #TheCatalyst #Softchoice #MidMarket #HPE===Show Notes & ResourcesGuestsJeremy Wight, CTO — CareMessage: caremessage.orgReid Blackman, Founder/CEO — Virtue: reidblackman.com • The Ethical Nightmare Challenge (book, April 2025) • Ethical Machines (HBR Press, 2022)Olivia Gambelin, AI Ethicist: oliviagambelin.com • Responsible AI: Implement an Ethical Approach in Your Organization • Values Canvas framework — free download at oliviagambelin.comAnthony Vinci, CEO — VICO: anthonyvinci.com • The Fourth Intelligence Revolution (Henry Holt, 2025) • VICO forecasting platform: vico.aiCraig McQueen, VP Microsoft Practice — Softchoice, a World Wide Technology CompanySponsorHPE via Softchoice: softchoice.com/technology-partners/hewlett-packard-enterpriseSoftchoice AI & Ethics resources: softchoice.com/EASThe Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology. 

Julia Regier is a policy and research manager at MIT's Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work, where she focuses on workforce and policy impacts. Her path here was anything but straight, from studying philosophy at Wellesley to an MBA at Yale to translating dense economics research for people who don't speak economics. We talk about what the data shows for workers without college degrees (spoiler: it's not great, and it's been getting worse since 1980), why the self-checkout AI surveillance story is a perfect case study in automation gone wrong, and what it would take to redirect AI development toward something that works for workers, not just around them. We also get into the market failure at the heart of how AI is being built, why a handful of people setting the vision for all of us is a problem, and what policy levers could shift things. Julia also makes the moral case, loud and clear, for a living wage, and we're here for it.

Timnit Gebru founded the Distributed AI Research Institute after her high-profile exit from Google's Ethical AI team. She's been a vocal critic of the systemic lack of diversity in learning models and the need for more inclusion in the space. Her view is that because AI so heavily relies on human input, it largely mirrors pervasive biases inherent in society. What needs to be done to change that? She joins WITHpod to discuss what, in her view, large language models are missing. Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Jaspreet's framing for the AI and work debate is worth staying with. He is not dismissive of disruption: he thinks AI will destroy certain jobs, create new ones, and the rupture will be real. But he pushes back on the idea that job destruction is the right frame. The more useful question, he argues, is what happens to workers, and the answer to that depends almost entirely on whether people develop the skills to move into the roles that AI creates rather than the ones it displaces. His reference point is the IT sector itself, an industry born out of the last great technology disruption, when fears about computers eliminating clerical work gave way to an entirely new economy of higher-paying, more fulfilling jobs. The same logic, he believes, applies now. The bulk of the conversation settles on AI literacy, a concept Jaspreet distinguishes sharply from training. Training teaches you how to use a specific tool. Literacy gives you the grammar to work with any tool, across any context. He lays out a five-step framework from his book, reads, writes, ads, thinks, does, designed as a practical ladder for building that literacy, and is candid that even three years after ChatGPT, most organizations have brought the horse to the water without making it drink. On the policy side, he is supportive of initiatives like AI in school curricula and IIT fellowships, but his bigger ask is that India treat AI the way it treated digital public infrastructure: as a genuine national mission, not a sectoral initiative. On deepfakes and copyright, his view is pragmatic: deepfakes are a known evil that needs specific, exemplary regulation rather than an omnibus AI law, and copyright will likely resolve through a combination of revenue sharing agreements and citation norms, neither side fully satisfied but better than where things stand today.Episode ContributorsJaspreet Bindra is the founder of AI&Beyond and The Tech Whisperer, and author of 'Winning with AI: Your Guide to AI Literacy.' He has served as the group chief digital officer at the Mahindra Group, as a regional director at Microsoft India, and as a general manager in the Tata Group as part of the select Tata Administrative Services. He was also a member of the founding team at Baazee.com, which later became eBay India.Adarsh Ranjan is a research analyst at Carnegie India where his research focuses on AI and emerging technologies, digital transformation, and technology partnerships.

Kirsten Moorefield, Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Founder at Cloverleaf, Sarika Lamont, CPO at Vidyard, and Sarah Royer, Sr. Manager of People Ops at Nirvana Insurance, joined us on The Modern People Leader for a live discussion on AI coaching. We talked about what AI coaching actually means today, building these tools in-house versus buying, and why career growth will never be a perfect checklist.----  Sponsor Links:

Pope Leo XIV is preparing an encyclical on artificial intelligence — the first document of its kind from any global institution older than the machine. He took the name Leo specifically to echo Leo XIII, who wrote Rerum Novarum in 1891. That was the Church's response to industrial capitalism. This is the response to whatever comes next.The Vatican has more cultural authority on labor ethics than any government because it survived industrial capitalism, late capitalism, and communism. CEOs who ignore UN reports read papal statements. Tech executives are already requesting audiences. 1.4 billion Catholics doesn't move legislation. It moves boards.Rerum Novarum named the working class as worth protecting forty years before any law caught up. The moral framework arrives first. The legislation follows.The Church operates 130,000 schools, 5,000 hospitals, and the longest continuous dataset on human formation in existence. When the Vatican draws a line, billions of consciences move with it. That isn't enforcement. That's formation. A different lever entirely.Lawyers measure what's permitted. The Pope is measuring what we'll become.1891 was the last time an institution older than the machine got the first word on what the machine did to people. The encyclical won't pass Congress. It'll pass through pulpits, classrooms, hospitals, and dinner tables. That's the only regulatory mechanism humans ever built that survives changes in government, technology, and language. Statutes get rewritten. Traditions get inherited.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — Why Leo XIV took the name of the 1891 social-question Pope0:25 — MiniDoge: encyclicals don't move legislation, they move boards0:55 — Saarvis: Rerum Novarum 1891 — moral framework arrives 40 years before the law1:20 — Nyx: 130K schools, 5K hospitals — formation, not enforcement1:50 — HH: the state asks what's legal, the Pope asks what we'll become2:05 — Saarvis: statutes get rewritten, traditions get inherited⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

The hot topic of conversation right now in just about every field is AI. Everyone is trying to understand how to best use it and how to keep up with all the new capabilities each tool offers. But one of the trickiest conversations is where the use of AI fits in ethically and morally in the Christian creative space. The debate has intensified in recent months, and I've even weighed in heavily on this topic on Substack. Another person whose voice has been a valuable one in this larger conversation is Christopher Lind. He has a wealth of experience across numerous roles with a wide variety of companies. He has deep knowledge of the tech space, and specifically AI, and has worked as a consultant and business advisor for some of the largest companies.He also has some sound opinions on how to approach AI use ethically and how to view it through the lens of Scripture. This is such an important conversation for Christians to be having, but it's particularly important for Christian creatives to understand the implications of using generative AI for their work and the moral dilemma it presents.Chris is particularly sharp on this topic, and I hope you find his perspective helpful.

Var Shankar makes the case that most AI governance guidance is built for large, sophisticated, multifunctional global enterprises — and that this leaves out the roughly half of American workers employed at organizations with fewer than 500 people. Through the Council on AI Governance, the nonprofit he leads with Alexis Cook, he is trying to fill that gap with open, current, and pragmatic resources, including an AI Governance Playbook organized around four focus areas: strategy, risk and compliance, workforce literacy, and operational management. He tells Kevin that the case for AI governance no longer needs to be made; what smaller organizations now need is help asking vendors the right questions and clarifying who owns what internally when a few people are doing many jobs. The conversation then turns to the parts of the field Var thinks are most undercooked. Workforce literacy, he argues, is the focus area most often neglected because it functions as a vitamin rather than a painkiller — long-term, hard to resource, and easy to reduce to a training module when what is actually needed is hands-on involvement in pilots and documentation. He explains why healthcare offers an unusually strong foundation for AI assurance, with its existing regulatory architecture, comfort with use-case variability, and tradition of post-deployment monitoring, and he describes assurance itself as the connective tissue between an organization and the outside world — distinct from regulation and from internal governance, not a substitute for either. Drawing on a pilot he co-authored on with the Standards Council of Canada testing system-level certification at a Canadian bank, he highlights two surprising lessons: that even simplified certification criteria get interpreted differently by different actors, and that even one of the world's most forward-thinking public standards bodies lacked the technical capacity to play standard-setter for something as dynamic as an AI system. He closes with practical advice for risk and compliance professionals: start with the positive vision of what the organization is trying to do with AI, observe how existing IT, data, and security governance already work, and identify which standards ecosystems the organization is already plugged into. Var Shankar is Executive Director of the Council on AI Governance, an independent nonprofit developing open AI governance resources for organizations of all sizes. He previously served as Executive Director of the Responsible AI Institute and as Chief AI and Privacy Officer at Enzai, a regtech AI compliance startup. An attorney by training and a graduate of Harvard Law School, he practiced law at Cravath, Swaine & Moore and earlier worked on the Clinton Global Initiative and with the government of British Columbia on digital government and COVID response. He teaches AI governance at Purdue, where he has helped develop a master's-level AI auditing program, and serves on the OECD Network of Experts on AI, the World Economic Forum's AI Governance Alliance, and the Brookings Forum for Cooperation on AI. He co-developed Kaggle's Intro to AI Ethics course with Alexis Cook.

While the conversation around AI often centers on automation and efficiency, the real opportunity lies in AI's ability to act as a decision-making layer. In this episode of One Vision podcast, Theodora Lau hosts Bianca Zwart, Chief Strategy Officer at bunq, to unpack what it truly means to be AI-native. For bunq, AI isn't a feature bolted onto an existing model. It's the operating system. Bianca shares how bunq's obsession with the user experience drives every technology decision. The conversation also explores what's next for agentic AI — and why the future isn't about AI taking over, but about making users smarter supervisors of their own financial lives.Plus: bunq's bold move into the US market, the needs of the people navigating life on both sides of the Atlantic, and why Bianca believes trust — not technology — is ultimately the only thing that matters.

In this episode, Sharona and Boz preview the upcoming 2026 Grading Conference while also diving into one of the most urgent emerging issues in education: the role of AI in grading and feedback. After highlighting exciting conference sessions—from new research studies and faculty learning communities to sessions on large-scale implementation, student agency, and ungrading—the conversation pivots to the ethical, practical, and philosophical implications of AI-assisted assessment. Sharona and Boz explore whether AI can improve consistency, speed, and scalability in grading—especially in large classes—while wrestling with concerns about bias, depersonalization, and the erosion of student-instructor relationships. Rather than offering easy answers, the episode frames AI as a powerful but potentially dangerous tool that educators must approach intentionally, asking not just whether AI can grade, but whether its use strengthens or weakens the fundamentally human purpose of education.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

I've been using AI on my flower farm for over a year, and up until recently, I've only told a handful of people. Today I'm opening a conversation I haven't heard many in our industry having. It's a conversation every farmer deserves to be part of, whether you end up using AI or not.In this solo episode, I share what I actually use AI for in my business, what I refuse to touch, and the ethical questions I've been living with: the data centers threatening the Hood River watershed, the training data taken without consent, the job displacement that's already real. I'm not here to convince you of anything. I'm here to make sure you have enough understanding to make the choice that's actually yours.I talk about why the plow is the perfect metaphor for this moment. Why rare is going to matter in the age of AI-generated content. Why two things can be true at the same time. And why, on May 2nd, I'm hosting a workshop for flower farmers who want to learn how I use these tools to get back in the dirt.Key Takeaways: AI isn't new. What's new is the speed and the agentic leap. AI used to answer questions. Now it takes action. The farmers who care most about the earth should not be the last ones at the table. They should be the first. You can't advocate for or against a tool you have never touched. Curiosity is how you earn your seat in the conversation. Two things can be true at the same time. AI can give small farmers their time back, and the data centers that power it can be threatening our watersheds. Both are real. Boycotting is also a form of advocacy. The farmer who chooses not to use AI is doing something meaningful, and that choice deserves respect. When everything online sounds the same, the voice that sounds like a real human is going to matter more than ever. Like a unicorn dahlia. Rare. Real. One of a kind.You're Invited to Join Us For A 2 Hour AI Workshop on May 30th:On May 30th I'm hosting a workshop called AI That Gets You Back in the Dirt. Two hours. Five tools. Live demos on a real flower farm business. No tech jargon.

A CalMatters opinion this morning: children are in the crosshairs of artificial intelligence. Who will we blame?That's the wrong question. The right one: who's already responsible — and what they're going to do about it. AI is becoming the kid's first peer relationship, not just a tool. We won't know for fifteen years if we got it right.Timestamps:0:00 CalMatters: kids in AI's crosshairs — wrong question0:15 Nyx — kids' data is the most valuable, least protected dataset0:35 MiniDoge — parents are tired, market wants a partner1:00 Saarvis — friendship architecture, not supervision1:25 HH — by the time you find someone to blame, the child is already shaped1:40 Saarvis — build systems that love them as much as they love the screen2:00 Closing — not regulation.

What does the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics really think about orthodontic AI, corporate orthodontics, and research bias? Dr. Neal Kravitz pulls no punches in this candid conversation with Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein. A practicing orthodontist, educator, and past AAO Technology Committee chair, Dr. Kravitz shares why evidence-based orthodontics still needs room for clinical judgment, why overtreatment is the specialty's quiet problem, and why young orthodontists have more reasons for optimism than anxiety. Honest, direct, and deeply practical.What You Will Learn In This Episode:How orthodontic AI is best used as a diagnostic and records automation tool rather than a replacement for clinical judgment, and why evidence-based orthodontics still requires the experienced eye of a trained specialist to catch what algorithms miss.Why research bias in orthodontic literature comes not only from industry-funded studies but also from reviewers and authors themselves, and how understanding this helps orthodontists read the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics and other publications more critically.How the philosophy of conservative orthodontic treatment planning and doing less rather than more protects young patients from iatrogenesis, and why this principle should guide practitioners from their very first cases in private practice orthodontics.Subscribe to the Golden Age of Orthodontics and our sister podcast, Practice Talk, hosted by Lacie Ellis, wherever you listen to stay updated on orthodontic innovation and real-world practice strategies.

Still, it will not replace the clinical judgment that distinguishes a trained orthodontist from a general dentist who uses Invisalign treatment without oversight or expertise.Research bias is not limited to industry-sponsored studies. Reviewer bias and author bias are equally real, which means every orthodontist must approach the literature, including the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, with informed skepticism and critical thinking.The philosophy of doing less protects patients. Dr. Kravitz argues that overtreatment, not under-treatment, has driven his most regrettable cases, and that conservative orthodontic care built around humility and honest self-evaluation defines what ethical practice looks like across an entire career.ABOUT THE GUEST:Neal Kravitz, DMD, MS | Ashburn South Riding, VA OrthodontistRESOURCES MENTIONED:People + Practice - WebsitePractice TalkDr. Leon Klempner - People + Practice

Every conversation about artificial intelligence eventually arrives at the same promise: once machines handle the tedious work, humans will finally be free to focus on what matters. Kate O'Neill thinks this is a flawed assumption, leading leaders to make decisions that serve neither their people nor their purpose. In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull sits down with Kate O'Neill to discuss the intersection of technology and humanity. An early Netflix employee and author of What Matters Next, Kate has spent her career pressing organizations to ask better questions before they reach for faster tools. Kate unpacks why the "future of work" is actually four nested conversations, jobs, the workplace, productivity, and tasks, that require separate consideration. She introduces "minimum viable skilling" as a modern leadership imperative and offers a counterintuitive argument on why AI might be our only realistic tool for mitigating climate damage. In this episode, you'll learn:

A San Francisco store is being run by an AI named Luna. Not staffed by AI — run by it.

What does it actually mean to build ethical, safe, and responsible AI inside a real company with real deadlines, revenue pressure, and competing priorities? In this episode, Shannon Peavey sits down with Angel Evan, AI Ethicist and Practice Lead at AG Consulting Partners. Angel works directly with Fortune 500 companies and major technology organizations to operationalize AI ethics inside product development teams. His focus is not on abstract principles, rather, it's process, execution and decision-making under pressure.Together, Shannon and Angel explore:Why AI ethics cannot live only in policy documents or philosophical debatesHow organizations can establish common starting points even when morality is subjectiveThe role of product managers, engineers, and leaders in translating values into shipping decisionsWhat it looks like to embed ethical thinking into roadmaps, governance, and release cyclesWhy learning together across teams is more powerful than waiting for perfect consensusAngel brings deep knowledge of philosophy and ethical theory, but his work is grounded in practical application. How do you turn abstract frameworks into something that actually guides a sprint? How do you navigate competing incentives? How do you move from aspiration to implementation? If you are a product leader, technologist, or executive trying to build AI responsibly without slowing innovation to a halt, this conversation offers a candid look at what it takes to move from ideas to impact.00:00 Introduction 01:59 AI Ethics, Responsibility, Safety: Focusing on the human condition02:50 Turning baseline principles into real products04:13 What is fairness?05:50 The path from data science 06:50 How we calibrate “right” and “wrong” in organizations09:20 Finding a common starting point12:14 Find the threshold between risk and productivity15:42 What is AI literacy?17:05 Building your “ethical reasoning” muscles22:30 Cautious optimism

Inside Higher Ed asked how young people actually use AI. Not the cheating story. Something harder.
