Join Beth Rudden at the Artificiality Summit in Bend, Oregon—October 23-25, 2025—to imagine a meaningful life with synthetic intelligence for me, we and us. Learn more here: www.artificialityinstitute.org/summitIn this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the intersection of archaeological thinking and artificial intelligence with Beth Rudden, former IBM Distinguished Engineer and CEO of Bast AI. Beth brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective—combining her training as an archaeologist with over 20 years of enterprise AI experience—to challenge fundamental assumptions about how we build and deploy artificial intelligence systems.Beth describes her work as creating "the trust layer for civilization," arguing that current AI systems reflect what Hannah Arendt called the "banality of evil"—not malicious intent, but thoughtlessness embedded at scale. As she puts it, "AI is an excavation tool, not a villain," surfacing patterns and biases that humanity has already normalized in our data and language.Key themes we explore:Archaeological AI: How treating AI as an excavation tool reveals embedded human thoughtlessness, and why scraping random internet data fundamentally misunderstands the nature of knowledge and contextOntological Scaffolding: Beth's approach to building AI systems using formal knowledge graphs and ontologies—giving AI the scaffolding to understand context rather than relying on statistical pattern matching divorced from meaningData Sovereignty in Healthcare: A detailed exploration of Bast AI's platform for explainable healthcare AI, where patients control their data and can trace every decision back to its source—from emergency logistics to clinical communicationThe Economics of Expertise: Moving beyond the "humans as resources" paradigm to imagine economic models that compete to support and amplify human expertise rather than eliminate itEmbodied Knowledge and Community: Why certain forms of knowledge—surgical skill, caregiving, craftsmanship—are irreducibly embodied, and how AI should scale this expertise rather than replace itHopeful Rage: Beth's vision for reclaiming humanist spaces and community healing as essential infrastructure for navigating technological transformationBeth challenges the dominant narrative that AI will simply replace human workers, instead proposing systems designed to "augment and amplify human expertise." Her work at Bast AI demonstrates how explainable AI can maintain full provenance and transparency while reducing cognitive load—allowing healthcare providers to spend more time truly listening to patients rather than wrestling with bureaucratic systems.The conversation reveals how archaeological thinking—with its attention to context, layers of meaning, and long-term patterns—offers essential insights for building trustworthy AI systems. As Beth notes, "You can fake reading. You cannot fake swimming"—certain forms of embodied knowledge remain irreplaceable and should be the foundation for human-AI collaboration.About Beth Rudden: Beth Rudden is CEO and Chairwoman of Bast AI, building explainable artificial intelligence systems with full provenance and data sovereignty. A former IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Data Officer, she's been recognized as one of the 100 most brilliant leaders in AI Ethics. With her background spanning archaeology, cognitive science, and decades of enterprise AI development, Beth offers a grounded perspective on technology that serves human flourishing rather than replacing it.This interview was recorded as part of the lead-up to the Artificiality Summit 2025 (October 23-25 in Bend, Oregon), where Beth will be speaking about the future of trustworthy AI.

AI ethics expert Sam Sammane challenges Silicon Valley's artificial intelligence hype in this controversial entrepreneurship interview. The Theo Sim founder and nanotechnology PhD reveals why current AI regulations only help wealthy tech giants while blocking innovation for small businesses. Sam exposes the truth about ChatGPT privacy risks, demonstrates how personalized AI systems running locally protect your data better than cloud-based solutions, and shares his revolutionary context engineering approach that transforms generic chatbots into custom AI employees. Sam's contrarian take on AI policy, trustworthy AI development, and why schools must teach cognitive ethics now will reshape how you think about augmenting human intelligence. The future of AI belongs to businesses that act today, not tomorrow.

Bestselling author, political strategist and former Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams will headline the inaugural KPBS San Diego Book Festival on Aug. 23.Abrams joined Midday Edition on Thursday to talk about her latest book, "Coded Justice," which dives into the ethical questions around the use of AI in the healthcare industry."What I want us to think about with AI is that it's an extraordinarily powerful technology that is controlled by people," Abrams said. "And that means people have to understand what's happening and that means other people have to question where it comes from, what it does and what impact it will have on us."Plus, KPBS' Beth Accomando looks at how a new all-women acting company is flipping the script on Shakespearean plays.Then, Julia Dixon Evans shares her top picks for arts events this weekend, including meteor showers, visual art about caregiving and a children's film festival.Guests:Stacey Abrams, author of "Coded Justice," former Georgia State Representative and two-time gubernatorial candidateAudrey Sweet, co-founder of the Queen's MenCharlotte B.

How does a particle physicist end up shaping the UK Government's approach to artificial intelligence? In this thought‑provoking episode, Andrew Grill sits down with Dr Laura Gilbert CBE, former Director of Data Science at 10 Downing Street and now the Senior Director of AI at the Tony Blair Institute.Laura's unique career path, from academic research in physics to the heart of policymaking, gives her a rare perspective on how governments can use emerging technologies not just efficiently, but humanely. She shares candid insights into how policy teams think about digital transformation, why the public sector faces very different challenges to private industry, and how to avoid technology that dehumanises decision‑making.Drawing on examples from her work in Whitehall, Laura discusses the realities of forecasting in AI, the danger of “buzzword chasing”, and why the next breakthrough in Artificial General Intelligence might well come from an unexpected player, possibly from within government itself.This is a conversation for anyone curious about the intersection of science, policy, ethics, and technology, and how they can combine to make government more responsive, transparent, and human-centred.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Laura Gilbert moved from particle physics research into government AI leadershipThe strategic role of AI in shaping modern policy and public servicesWhy forecasting in AI is harder than it looks—and how this impacts decision‑makersThe balance between technical capability and human‑centred governanceWhy governments must look beyond the tech giants for innovative solutionsLessons from the Evidence House and AI for Public Good programmesResourcesTony Blair Global Institute WebsiteUK Government AI IncubatorLaura on LinkedInRaindrop.io bookmarking appThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the ethics of AI, language, and what it means to be human in a rapidly advancing technological world. Starting with a provocative question—should Christians use slurs like "clanker" toward robots or AI?—they explore how our language toward machines reflects deeper theological and moral concerns. What begins as a discussion on humor and frustration with technology evolves into a rich conversation about the image of God (Imago Dei), the nature of animals, the soul, and the ethical dangers of humanizing machines. Drawing on philosophy, scripture, and real-world examples, they challenge Christians to think critically about how we engage with artificial intelligence and the impact it has on our character. This episode is essential listening for believers seeking thoughtful, theological reflection on the future of humanity, virtue ethics, and digital culture.

In our latest conversation on Redefining Society and Technology, we explored whether AI is the ultimate creative collaborator or the final chapter in human artistic expression.⸻ Article ⸻ I sat across from Maury Rogow—a tech exec, Hollywood producer, and storytelling strategist—and watched him wrestle with a question more and more of us are asking: Are we teaching our replacements to dream?Our latest conversation on Redefining Society and Technology dives straight into that uneasy space where AI meets human creativity. Is generative AI the ultimate collaborator… or the beginning of the end for authentic artistic expression?I've had my own late-night battles with AI writing tools, struggling to coax a rhythm out of ChatGPT that didn't feel like recycled marketing copy. Eventually, I slammed my laptop shut and thought: “Screw this—I'll write it myself.” But even in that frustration, something creative happened. That tension? It's real. It's generative. And it's something Maury deeply understands.“Companies don't know how to differentiate themselves,” he told me. “So they compete on cost or get drowned out by bigger brands. That's when they fail.”Now that AI is democratizing storytelling tools, the danger isn't that no one can create—it's that everyone's content sounds the same. Maury gets AI-generated brand pitches daily that all echo the same structure, voice, and tropes—“digital ventriloquism,” as I called it.He laughed when I told him about my AI struggles. “It's like the writer that's tired,” he said. “I just start a new session and tell it to take a nap.” But beneath the humor is a real fear: What happens when the tools meant to support us start replacing us?Maury described a recent project where they recreated a disaster scene—flames, smoke, chaos—using AI compositing. No massive crew, no fire trucks, no danger. And no one watching knew the difference. Or cared.We're not just talking about job displacement. We're talking about the potential erasure of the creative process itself—that messy, human, beautiful thing machines can mimic but never truly live.And yet… there's hope. Creativity has always been about connecting the dots only you can see. When Maury spoke about watching Becoming Led Zeppelin and reliving the memories, the people, the context behind the music—that's the spark AI can't replicate. That's the emotional archaeology of being human.The machines are learning to dream.But maybe—just maybe—we're the ones who still know what dreams are worth having.Cheers,Marco⸻ Keywords ⸻ artificial intelligence creativity, AI content creation, human vs AI storytelling, generative AI impact, creative industry disruption, AI writing tools, future of creativity, technology and society, AI ethics philosophy, human creativity preservation, storytelling in AI age, creative professionals AI, digital transformation creativity, AI collaboration tools, machine learning creativity, content creation revolution, artistic expression AI, creative industry jobs, AI generated content, human-AI creative partnership__________________ Enjoy.

We're living through the most significant technological shift in human history, and most people are arguing about all the wrong things. While culture warriors battle over Superman's immigration status, the real story is staring us in the face: the war for control of artificial intelligence. This isn't some distant sci-fi fantasy anymore – it's happening right now, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The newest Superman movie accidentally became the perfect metaphor for our AI moment. You've got Lex Luthor commanding an army of machines like he's playing the world's most dangerous video game, while Superman fights back with his own AI companions. Sound familiar? That's because we're already living it. The question isn't whether humans and machines will merge – it's whether the good guys or the Lex Luthors of the world get to decide how it happens. Listen now to discover how a comic book movie reveals the three critical choices we're making about AI right now that will determine whether technology saves humanity or enslaves it. 10 Topics Discussed: The BroBots Rebrand - Why The Fit Mess is evolving into something bigger as we embrace the human-machine future Superman as AI Metaphor - How James Gunn's film accidentally became the perfect commentary on our current AI moment The Lex Luthor Problem - Why the people building AI might not be the people we want controlling it Intent vs Technology - How AI amplifies human nature, both good and evil, rather than changing it The Video Game Controller War - Lex Luthor's command system and what it reveals about human-machine interfaces Mr. Terrific's Cool Factor - Why the best AI integration makes humans more capable, not obsolete Biological Augmentation - The Engineer's sacrifice and what giving up humanity for technology really costs Real-World Supervillains - How tech billionaires are becoming the comic book antagonists we used to only fear in fiction Breaking Echo Chambers - Why putting down your screen and talking to real humans is the ultimate AI defense The Culture War Distraction - How fake outrage over Superman's "woke" themes distracts from the real technological threats ---- NEW WEBSITE: www.brobots.me  ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to The Fit Mess on Youtube Join our community in the Fit Mess Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

ITSPmagazine Weekly Update | From Black Hat to Black Sabbath / Ozzy: AI Agents and Guitars (again!) + Entry Level Cybersecurity Jobs, Robots Evolution, and the Weekly Recap You Didn't Expect  -  On Marco & Sean's Random & Unscripted Podcast  __________________Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin are back with another random and unscripted weekly recap—from pre-Black Hat buzz and AI agents to vintage wood guitars, talent gaps, and Glen Miller debates. This week's reflection hits tech, music, and philosophy in all the right ways. Tune in, ramble with us, and subscribe. __________________Full Blog Article This week's recap was a ride.Sean and I kicked things off with the big news: we're officially consistent. Weekly recap number… I lost count. But we're doing it. We covered what ITSPmagazine's been working on, what we've been publishing, and where our minds are wandering lately (spoiler: everywhere).Black Hat USA 2025 is just around the corner, and we're deep into prep mode. I even bought a paper map. Why? I don't know. But we've got some great pre-event conversations already out—like our annual chat with Black Hat GM Steve Wylie, plus briefings with Dropzone AI (get ready for “agentic automation” to be the next big buzzword) and Akamai (yes, bots and APIs again, but with a solid strategy twist).We also talked about a fantastic episode Sean did on resonance and reinvention—featuring Cindy, a luthier in NYC who builds custom guitars using century-old beams from historic buildings. The pickups even use the old nails. Music and wood with a past life. It's beautiful stuff.Speaking of stories, I officially closed down the Storytelling podcast. But don't worry—I'm still telling stories. I've just shifted focus to “Redefining Society and Technology,” my newsletter and podcast series where I explore how humans and tech evolve together. This week's edition tackled the merging of humans and machines as a new species. Isaac Asimov meets Andy Clark.We also got a bit philosophical about AI and jobs. If machines take over the “easy” roles, where do humans begin? Are we cutting off our own training paths?Sean's episode with John Solomon dug into the cybersecurity hiring crisis—challenging the idea that we have a “talent gap.” The real issue? We're not hiring or nurturing people properly.Oh, and I finally released my long-overdue interview with Michael Sheldrick from Global Citizen. Music. Social impact. Doing good. It's all there. I'm honored to support even a small piece of what he's building.And yes… Ozzy. RIP. Music never dies.So if you're into random reflections with meaning, tech with humanity, and stories that don't always follow the rules—subscribe, share, and join the ride.See you in Vegas. Or the future. Or somewhere in between.________________ KeywordsBlack Hat USA 2025, ITSPmagazine recap, Marco Ciappelli, Sean Martin, cybersecurity podcast, AI in cybersecurity, agentic automation, Dropzone AI, Akamai APIs, HITRUST security, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, storytelling podcast, Redefining Society, Andy Clark, Isaac Asimov, human-machine evolution, cybersecurity talent gap, custom guitar NYC, Ozzy tributeHosts links:

Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three GSB professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.Episode Reference Links:Jesper SørensenChristian WheelerSarah SouleEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect: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 >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:04) - Jesper Sørensen on Strategic Analogies (04:06) - Sarah Soule on Corporate Confessions (08:46) - Christian Wheeler on Spontaneity & Presence (12:06) - Panel Discussion: AI's Role in Research, Teaching, & Life (17:52) - Professors Share Current Projects (22:55) - Live Audience Q&A (32:53) - Conclusion *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

From social media activism to systemic change, this conversation explores how creativity and innovation can fuel a global movement for good.⸻ Article ⸻ Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that keep unfolding — and Michael Sheldrick's journey is exactly that. When we first spoke, Global Citizen had just (almost) released their book From Ideas to Impact. This time, I invited Michael back on Redefining Society and Technology because his story didn't stop at the last chapter.From a high school student in Western Australia who doubted his own potential, to co-founding one of the most influential global advocacy movements — Michael's path is a testament to what belief and purpose can spark. And when purpose is paired with music, technology, and strategic activism? That's where the real magic happens.In this episode, we dig into how Global Citizen took the power of pop culture and built a model for global change. Picture this: a concert ticket you don't buy, but earn by taking action. Signing petitions, tweeting for change, amplifying causes — that's the currency. It's simple, smart, and deeply human.Michael shared how artists like John Legend and Coldplay joined their mission not just to play music, but to move policy. And they did — unlocking over $40 billion in commitments, impacting a billion lives. That's not just influence. That's impact.We also talked about the role of technology. AI, translation tools, Salesforce dashboards, even Substack — they're not just part of the story, they're the infrastructure. From grant-writing to movement-building, Global Citizen's success is proof that the right tools in the right hands can scale change fast.Most of all, I loved hearing how digital actions — even small ones — ripple out globally. A girl in Shanghai watching a livestream. A father in Utah supporting his daughters' activism. The digital isn't just real — it's redefining what real means.As we wrapped, Michael teased a new bonus chapter he's releasing, The Innovator. Naturally, I asked him back when it drops. Because this conversation isn't just about what's been done — it's about what comes next.So if you're wondering where to start, just remember Eleanor Roosevelt's quote Michael brought back:“The way to begin is to begin.”Download the app. Take one action. The world is listening.Cheers,Marco⸻ Keywords ⸻ Society and Technology, AI ethics, generative AI, tech innovation, digital transformation, tech, technology, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, ending poverty, pop culture activism, technology for good, social impact, digital advocacy, Redefining Society, AI in nonprofits, youth engagement, music and change, activism app, social movements, John Legend, sustainable development, global action, climate change, eradicating polio, tech for humanity, podcast on technology__________________ Enjoy.

In this episode of Breaking Math, Autumn explores the complex world of AI ethics, focusing on its implications in education, the accuracy of AI systems, the biases inherent in algorithms, and the challenges of data privacy. The discussion emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in mathematics and computer science, advocating for transparency and accountability in AI systems. Autumn also highlights the role of mathematicians in addressing these ethical dilemmas and the need for society to engage critically with AI technologies.Takeaways AI systems can misinterpret student behavior, leading to false accusations. Bias in AI reflects historical prejudices encoded in data. Predictive analytics can help identify at-risk students but may alter their outcomes. Anonymization of data is often ineffective in protecting privacy. Differential privacy offers a way to share data while safeguarding individual identities. Ethics should be a core component of algorithm design. The impact of biased algorithms can accumulate over time. Mathematicians must understand both technical and human aspects of AI. Society must question the values embedded in AI systems. Small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to AI Ethics 02:14 The Accuracy and Implications of AI in Education 04:14 Bias in AI and Its Consequences 05:45 Data Privacy Challenges in AI 06:37 Mathematical Solutions for Ethical AI 08:04 The Role of Mathematicians in AI Ethics 09:42 The Future of AI and Ethical ConsiderationsSubscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of Breaking Math for as little as a buck a monthFollow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

ITSPmagazine Weekly Update | From AI Agents to Tape Mixes, to Guitars and Black Hat Buzzwords and much more with Marco & Sean's Random & Unscripted Podcast ⸻ In this weekly unscripted update, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin catch up on their latest stories, from AI agents replacing SOC analysts to mixtape nostalgia and vintage guitars made from NYC history. They also tease big things coming at Black Hat USA and reflect on why collaboration is core to ITSPmagazine. ⸻ In this week's Random and Unscripted episode, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin return with another lively behind-the-scenes update from the ITSPmagazine world. As always, the conversation flows unpredictably—from music and nostalgia to cybersecurity, AI, and everything in between. Marco kicks off the episode by confessing he saw ASIS live—twice—and is now on a mission for the perfect mod haircut. Sean follows with an unexpected review of an avant-garde opera at Lincoln Center, which explores humanity's attempt to extend life through technology. That sets the stage for deeper reflection on AI, with both co-founders digging into the role of AI agents in cybersecurity operations. Sean recaps his recent contributor-led newsletters on threat intelligence and AI-powered SOC roles. Marco, meanwhile, teases the next chapter in his “Robbie the Robot” newsletter series, which will explore the merger of humans and machines. The episode also spotlights a series of published interviews: a brand story with Greg and John from White Knight Labs, Marco's conversation with Ken Munro wrapping up Infosecurity Europe 2025, and an episode with Abadesi from the Women in Cybersecurity track—discussing how diverse teams build better tech. Sean also drops new Music Evolves episodes, including a conversation with Summer McCoy of the Mixtape Museum and a new story on Carmine Guitars, where vintage NYC wood is repurposed into one-of-a-kind instruments. That sparks a philosophical reflection from Marco on the contrast between analog warmth and digital impermanence. As the episode winds down, Marco and Sean turn their attention to Black Hat USA 2025. With sponsorships nearly sold out, they encourage companies to claim one of the last remaining spots. They also preview an upcoming live webinar where they'll debate the event's inevitable buzzwords with industry peers. As always, the tone is informal, curious, and community-driven. If you want the inside scoop on what's shaping the stories and strategies at ITSPmagazine—this is the episode to hear. ⸻ Keywords: cybersecurity, AI agents, threat intelligence, SOC analyst, mixtape museum, custom guitars, Black Hat USA 2025, ITSPmagazine, analog vs digital, diversity in tech, robotic automation, newsletter strategy, editorial collaboration, pen testing, brand storytelling, tech culture, cybersecurity events, operational technology, digital transformation, music and techHosts links:

You get a conversation like this one with Abadesi Osunsade. We touched on everything from equitable design and storytelling to generative AI and ethics. This episode isn't about answers — it's about questions that matter. And it reminded me why I started this show in the first place. ⸻ Article ⸻ Some conversations remind you why you hit “record” in the first place. This one with Abadesi Osunsade — founder of Hustle Crew, podcast host of Techish, and longtime tech leader — was exactly that kind of moment. We were supposed to connect in person at Infosecurity Europe in London, but the chaos of the event kept us from it. I'm glad it worked out this way instead, because what came out of our remote chat was raw, layered, and deeply human. Abadesi and I explored a lot in just over 30 minutes: her journey through big tech and startups, the origins of Hustle Crew, and how inclusion and equity aren't just HR buzzwords — they're the foundation of better design. Better products. Better culture. We talked about the usual “why diversity matters” angle — but went beyond it. She shared viral real-world examples of flawed design (like facial recognition or hand dryers that don't register dark skin) and challenged the myth that inclusive design is more expensive. Spoiler: it's more expensive not to do it right the first time. Then we jumped into AI — not just how it's being built, but who is building it. And what it means when those creators don't reflect the world they're supposedly designing for. We talked about generative AI, ethics, simulation, capitalism, utopia, dystopia — you know, the usual light stuff. What stood out most, though, was her reminder that this work — inclusion, education, change — isn't about shame or guilt. It's about possibility. Not everyone sees the world the same way, so you meet them where they are, with stories, with data, with empathy. And maybe, just maybe, you shift their perspective. This podcast was never meant to be just about tech. It's about how tech shapes society — and how society, in turn, must shape tech. Abadesi brought that full circle. Take a listen. Think with us. Then go build something better. ⸻ Keywords ⸻ Society and Technology, AI ethics, generative AI, inclusive design, tech innovation, product development, digital transformation, tech, technology, Diversity & Inclusion, equity in tech, inclusive leadership, unconscious bias, diverse teams, representation matters, belonging at workEnjoy.

Our last conversation was cut short by a technical hiccup—perhaps the AI getting its own back on us—right as we were getting to the heart of the matter. So, picking up right where we left off felt not just necessary, but essential. Anna, with her characteristic clarity and pragmatism, helped navigate the complex, and sometimes murky, waters of using AI in a way that is both effective and deeply human.We jumped straight into the profound shift required in our thinking as we build relationships in this new digital landscape. Anna's perspective is a refreshing dose of common sense in a field often filled with hype. She argues that while the tools are new and evolving at a breakneck pace, the fundamental principles of good business and human connection remain the same. It's not about a total revolution in our values, but a thoughtful evolution in our methods.The Transparency Mandate: Your First Rule of AI EngagementAnna's foundational rule for AI engagement is simple yet powerful: be transparent. She made it crystal clear that if you are using AI in any capacity that faces the public or your clients, you have a responsibility to disclose it. This isn't about being ashamed of using a powerful tool; quite the opposite. It's about building trust by being upfront and honest about your processes. Not disclosing, and then getting caught, can do irreparable damage to your reputation.This frames AI correctly, not as a replacement for human skill or creativity, but as a tool in our arsenal. We wouldn't hide the fact that we use specialized software for accounting or project management, and Anna argues we should treat AI with the same straightforwardness. This simple act of disclosure respects your audience's intelligence and allows them to engage with your work, and your brand, on honest terms.The Creative Gray Area: Navigating AI Art and Intellectual PropertyAs a keen photographer, this part of our conversation struck a personal chord. We waded into what Anna aptly calls the "biggest gray area" in AI right now: the world of generated art and the protection of intellectual property. It's a space filled with incredible potential but also fraught with ethical questions. Where do we draw the line between an AI emulating a style and it infringing upon a human artist's livelihood and creative ownership?Anna shared some fascinating, and slightly sobering, insights, referencing the lawsuit between Disney and Midjourney as a major signal of the legal battles to come. She also pointed to the development of technologies like permanent digital watermarks for AI-generated media as a necessary step forward. It's a reminder that as we embrace these creative tools, we must also advocate for frameworks that protect the human creators whose work forms the very foundation of the AI's knowledge.From Fun to Function: AI as a Creative Partner and Problem-SolverLest we think the conversation was all serious, we took a detour into the genuinely fun and creative applications of AI. I shared a story about getting a parking fine and using AI to translate my initial, very angry, draft letter into something diplomatic, before asking it to rewrite the letter in the style of comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jim Jeffries. The process was not only hilarious but cathartic, turning frustration into laughter.This perfectly complemented Anna's examples of using AI as a playful, creative partner. She spoke of creating unique cartoon avatars for her members, which many now use as their official business profiles, and even generating a full 160-card Oracle deck with AI graphics just for fun. It's a brilliant illustration of how these tools can be used for more than just productivity; they can be a source of joy, creativity, and connection.Drawing the Line: Where AI Should Work and Where Humans Must RuleSo, where do we draw the line? Anna's distinction is incredibly clear and practical. She is a huge proponent of using AI for "back office" functions, letting it handle what she calls the "administrative minutia" so that we have more time and energy to focus on high-value, human-to-human interactions. Think of it as an assistant that helps you repurpose content, analyze data, or draft initial documents.However, she has a "hard line" when it comes to client-facing engagement. The core message is to use AI to help you run your business more effectively, but not to let it be in your business, interacting with your clients or your audience. The ultimate goal of using these tools should be to free us up to spend more quality time with people, not to create a buffer between us.The Communication Imperative: The Most Important Skill for the AI EraAs we continued, a powerful theme emerged: the most critical skill we need to hone in the age of AI is communication. This goes far beyond just "prompt engineering." It's about the timeless art of asking clear, specific, and descriptive questions. The old "garbage in, garbage out" principle has never been more relevant.Anna used a wonderful analogy of briefing a designer. If you give a vague, one-line request, you'll get a generic result. But if you provide rich detail, context, and specific examples, you'll get something much closer to your vision. The same is true for AI. Communicating effectively with these models not only yields better results but also reinforces the habits of clear communication that are essential in our interactions with other people.Your AI Action Plan: Start Secure, Stay HumanTo wrap up our discussion, Anna offered a clear, two-part action plan for anyone looking to leverage AI thoughtfully. First, and most critically, is to choose a secure AI environment. Free and open platforms often mean you are paying with your data. Using a secure, encrypted service ensures your proprietary information and client data remain private.Second, take the time to train your AI to sound like you. By creating a persona or agent that has learned from your own writing—be it blog posts, emails, or sales copy—you can ensure the output reflects your unique voice and phrasing. This step is fundamental to moving beyond generic content and truly using AI as a tool that enhances, rather than dilutes, your personal brand.In Summary: My conversation with Anna Addoms was illuminating guide in navigating the AI landscape with wisdom and integrity. Her core message is to embrace AI as a powerful tool for back-office efficiency, freeing you to deepen the human connections that truly matter. Be transparent in its use, be protective of your creative voice, and never forget that technology's highest purpose is to help us become more, not less, human.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Anna's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – By taking administrative minutia off people's plates, it allows them to focus on human-to-human interaction.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Creating a personalized AI agent or persona trained on your own content so it learns to write in your unique voice.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Use AI to help run your business effectively in the back office, not to be in business with your clients.ActionChoose a secure AI environment that protects your data, then take the time to train the AI to learn and use your unique voice. This is the foundation for using AI effectively and authentically in your business.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Anna by visiting her website or finding her on LinkedIn.Links* Website – Wicked Marvelous* Twitter – @WickedMarvelous* LinkedIn* Facebook* InstagramCool Things About Anna* Anna grew up in Colorado in a family of entrepreneurs, right in the thick of the tech boom.

Are we on the brink of an AI revolution that could reshape our lives in unimaginable ways? Are we worrying about losing our jobs and ways of going things as usual? This is a very real concern that can affect our emotional well being. This week, we sit down with Kristof Horompoly, Head of AI Risk Management at ValidMind and former Head of Responsible AI for JP Morgan Chase, to tackle the biggest questions surrounding artificial intelligence. Kristof, with his deep expertise in the field, helps us navigate the promises and perils of AI. We explore a profound paradox: what if AI could unlock new realms of time, creativity, and even reignite our humanity, allowing us to focus on what truly matters? But conversely, what happens when we hand the steering wheel over to intelligent machines and they take us somewhere entirely unintended? In a world where machines can think, write, and create with increasing sophistication, we wonder: what is left for us to do? Should we be worried, or is there a path to embrace this future?  Kristof provides thoughtful insights on how we can prepare for this evolving landscape, offering a grounded perspective on responsible AI development and what it means for our collective future. Tune in for an essential conversation on understanding, harnessing, and preparing for the age of AI. Topics covered: AI, artificial intelligence, Kristof Horompoly, ValidMind, JP Morgan Chase, AI risk management, responsible AI, future of AI, AI ethics, human-AI interaction, AI impact, technology, innovation, podcast, digital transformation, AI challenges, AI opportunities   Video link: https://youtu.be/MGELXPkYMUU   Did you enjoy this episode and would like to share some love?

n this episode, we explore the rise of AI in Hollywood through the lens of actors and artists. We discuss the promise of AI tools—like virtual readers for self-tapes—and how they could free creatives to focus on their craft, but also warn of the risks when AI replaces human storytelling. Our guest stresses the need for diverse ethical oversight in AI development, drawing parallels to how Facebook's unintended global impact stemmed from a lack of diverse perspectives at creation. Learn why we need more “naysayers” guiding AI's creative applications, where to draw the line between useful automation and creative displacement, and how tech-savvy actors can advocate for their future. Tune in for a timely conversation on balancing innovation and ethics in Hollywood's AI era.Target KeywordsAI in HollywoodHollywood AI ethicsActors and AI toolsAI creative jobs riskAI entertainment futureTags: AI, Hollywood, AI Ethics, Actors, AI in Entertainment, Creative AI Tools, Self-Tapes, Ethical AI, Tech in Film, AI Risks, Storytelling, Virtual Readers, AI Oversight, Diversity in AI, Creative Automation, AI Jobs, Film Industry Trends, Casting Tech, AI Development, Actor Advocacy, Innovation, Digital Ethics, Future of Acting, Machine Learning, Entertainment Technology, Tech Experts, Artist Perspectives, AI Regulation, Career Impact, PodcastEpisodeHashtags: #AIinHollywood #HollywoodEthics #ActorsAndAI #CreativeAI #EntertainmentTech #AIrisks #AItools #FilmInnovation #Storytelling #EthicalAI #DiversityInTech #SelfTapes #CastingTech #AIoversight

Tech leaders promise that AI automation will usher in an age of unprecedented abundance: cheap goods, universal high income, and freedom from the drudgery of work. But even if AI delivers material prosperity, will that prosperity be shared? And what happens to human dignity if our labor and contributions become obsolete?Political philosopher Michael Sandel joins Tristan Harris to explore why the promise of AI-driven abundance could deepen inequalities and leave our society hollow. Drawing from his landmark work on justice and merit, Sandel argues that this isn't just about economics — it's about what it means to be human when our work role in society vanishes, and whether democracy can survive if productivity becomes our only goal.We've seen this story before with globalization: promises of shared prosperity that instead hollowed out the industrial heart of communities, economic inequalities, and left holes in the social fabric. Can we learn from the past, and steer the AI revolution in a more humane direction?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_.

You've heard of the attention economy, but what about the intention economy? Rather than competing for consumers' attention, our devices are now attempting to predict our purchasing patterns through AI. And who better to discuss that issue than Dr. Cansu Canca, a leading expert in AI ethics and founder of the AI Ethics Lab? She joins Senior Producer, Teresa Carey, to discuss this shift in how we use technology. Sam also digs into a concept called reverse bedtime procrastination and why it's keeping us from getting a good night's sleep. And finally, Sam investigates the ins and outs of the Dance Your PhD contest.
