"We need to think about responsible uses of AI."

Aaron McIntire highlights the U.S. Army's stunning success in meeting its 2025 recruiting goal of 61,000 soldiers four months early, a turnaround from 2022-2023 shortfalls. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth credits a morale shift under President Trump's “America First” leadership, emphasizing war-fighting over “politically correct garbage,” boosting enthusiasm across all military branches. McIntire reflects on a heartfelt Iowa National Guard send-off ceremony, noting the sacrifices of “salt of the earth” Americans, but questions U.S. Middle East involvement. A federal judge approves the House settlement, allowing colleges to pay athletes up to $20.5 million annually, ending the amateur model and sparking debate over walk-on athletes and stability in college sports. McIntire criticizes the NCAA's greed-driven history, doubting the settlement will stabilize athletics. In Los Angeles, immigration riots reveal deep polarization: Vice President J.D. Vance questions if foreign nationals assaulting police constitute an “invasion,” while 40% of L.A. residents are foreign-born. Governor Gavin Newsom calls deploying Marines “deranged,” and the LAPD labels violent protests “peaceful.” McIntire argues this reflects irreconcilable ideological divides. Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference unveils “Liquid Glass,” a new iOS 26 interface, but McIntire slams it as a superficial “coat of paint” from a stagnant tech giant lagging in AI. A poll on planned June 14 protests predicts “America on Fire” (33.1%), with headlines likely to frame Trump as tyrannical, ignoring reality. A mix of patriotism, cultural shifts, and societal fractures.   U.S. Army recruiting, Pete Hegseth, Trump administration, Middle East deployment, college sports, House settlement, NCAA, Los Angeles riots, J.D.

Parisa Tabriz is vice president and general manager for Google Chrome, the world's leading browser platform. She leads efforts to make Chrome a secure and essential enterprise workspace, integrating AI and advanced cybersecurity to meet evolving business needs. In this episode, Parisa joins Bob to explore how Chrome is redefining the browser as a productivity and security platform, the role of AI in enterprise protection, and what's next for Chrome's innovations.Chrome at Google Cloud NextThe Big Themes:Chrome's Evolution into a Central Productivity and Security Platform: Over the past 17 years, Chrome has transformed from a simple web browser into a comprehensive platform integral to enterprise productivity and security. Users now spend a significant portion of their workday within Chrome, utilizing it for tasks ranging from document editing to video conferencing. This shift has positioned Chrome as the new endpoint in enterprise environments.Simplifying Enterprise Security with Chrome: Complexity is often the enemy of security. Chrome aims to simplify enterprise security by integrating protective measures directly into the browser, reducing the need for multiple, potentially conflicting security solutions. Features like automatic updates, built-in phishing protection, and centralized policy management allow IT teams to maintain a secure environment with less overheads.Personalization, Governance, and AI Empowerment: Chrome prioritizes features that allow organizations to personalize user experiences while maintaining strict governance over data and AI usage. Tools like data masking, controlled copy-paste functionalities, and the ability to designate approved AI applications help prevent data leaks and ensure compliance with internal policies. By providing these controls, Chrome empowers enterprises to harness the benefits of AI technologies responsibly.The Big Quote: ". . . the browser is the place where you can give people access to the benefits [of AI], but also make sure that you have the controls and governance to turn it off or make sure that your employees aren't copying and pasting data into an unsanctioned AI surface."More from Parisa Tabriz and Google Chrome:Connect with Parisa on LinkedIn or learn more about Google Chrome.

Guest: Christine Boyce, Global Innovation Leader at ManpowerGroup/Right Management“We have to stress-test innovation in the messiness of real-world hiring, not just ideal lab conditions.”-Christine BoyceIn this episode of Psych Tech @ Work, I'm joined by my longtime friend Christine Boyce, Global Innovation Leader at ManpowerGroup/Right Management, to explore how innovation — especially around AI — is reshaping hiring and talent development at scale, and why solving for trust, transparency, and operational realities matters more than ever.SummaryAt the heart of this conversation is the reality that scaling AI innovation in hiring brings massive complexity. While AI offers incredible promise, solving for accuracy, fairness, and operational reality becomes exponentially harder when you're dealing with a large number of unique clients.Christine Boyce, through her work at ManpowerGroup & Right Management, operates at the intersection of these challenges every day. Unlike internal talent acquisition leaders who focus on one organization's needs, Christine must help innovate across a vast client portfolio. Each client presents different barriers — from data limitations, to ethical concerns, to regulatory pressures — and innovation must be modular, defensible, and adaptable to succeed.This vantage point gives Christine a unique, big-picture view of how AI adoption really plays out across industries and markets.We dive into the practical challenges of innovating responsibly: earning trust, scaling solutions across diverse environments, and balancing speed with fairness. Christine's work at ManpowerGroup & Right Management highlights how innovation must be deeply disciplined if it is to achieve true scale and impact.The Core Challenge: Scaling Accuracy and FairnessAt the heart of using AI for hiring lies the challenge of achieving accuracy and fairness at scale. AI's true value isn't just its ability to make individual decisions — it's in processing vast amounts of data and automating judgment across thousands of candidates. However, scale magnifies both strengths and weaknesses: minor biases can grow into systemic problems, and small inefficiencies can snowball into major failures.Staffing firms like ManpowerGroup offer critical real-world lessons:* Scale forces discipline — Every AI tool must be rigorously vetted for fairness, transparency, and defensibility before deployment.* Real-world variation stresses the system for the better — Tools must flexibly adapt to diverse jobs, industries, and candidate pools. This makes the overall path of innovation better and drives great learnings across the board.* Speed must not erode trust — Productivity gains must still respect ethical standards and candidate experience.* External accountability keeps AI honest — Clients demand transparency, validation, and explainability before adoption.Real Barriers to AI Adoption: What Clients Are FacingDespite AI's potential, Christine identifies several persistent hurdles that she faces when serving her diverse slate of clients:* Resistance to Behavior Change: Even demonstrably valuable AI tools often struggle against entrenched workflows and distrust of automation.* Ethical and Trust Concerns: Clients demand AI systems that are transparent, explainable, and defensible, fearing reputational or regulatory risks.* Vendor Noise Overload: Saturation by "AI-washed" vendors makes it hard to differentiate true innovation from hype.* Mismatch Between Hype and Practical Needs: Clients need tools that solve today's operational problems — not just futuristic visions disconnected from reality.* Fear of Creeping AI Adoption: Organizations worry about AI capabilities being embedded into systems without visibility or intentionality.* Compliance and Regulation Anxiety: Global and local regulations (like the EU AI Act or pending US laws) create urgency for proven, compliant AI solutions.* Talent Data Readiness: Without clean, structured internal data, even the best AI solutions struggle to deliver meaningful results.These challenges aren't isolated — they reveal the broader realities companies must manage when trying to adopt AI responsibly at scale.Ultimately, client concerns have a hand in AI innovation because they are critical for the adoption of these technologies, shaping how staffing firms and vendors must design, validate, and deploy solutions.There's an inherent tension between the drive for scale and the need for trust, fairness, and operational reality.Christine's experience demonstrates that true innovation in AI for hiring isn't just about introducing new tools — it's about creating resilient, transparent systems that can adapt to real-world complexity. Managing the tension between speed, scale, trust, and fairness represents the path to a bright future. This is a public episode.
