Welcome back to the HX Podcast, where we are diving deep, deep into the intersection of human experience and AI. Today, I'm reporting as your on-the-street reporter on a silent productivity killer creeping into our teams: "work slop"—AI output that looks finished on the surface but is actually riddled with mistakes. Workers are losing a massive chunk of their time savings, up to two hours of rework per incident, trying to fix these AI-generated blunders. But let's be clear—this isn't a character issue with your staff; it's a design issue. With only 13% to 26% of organizations providing formal AI training, we've handed our teams powerful tools without a manual, forcing them to build exhausting, hidden workarounds just to get the job done. In this episode, we're reframing that hidden tax of rework as the training investment you simply haven't made yet. I'm sharing a simple, three-step handoff protocol that any team can adopt by Monday to close this proficiency gap and make AI speed sustainable. We will walk through why an AI draft is never the final artifact, how a named human reviewer can utilize a quick checklist, and why logging AI misses is the key to sharpening your training over time. Don't let AI run loose like an unsupervised intern. Tune in, grab our one-page protocol PDF in the link below, and let's explore how humans help humans do better, faster, and smarter work every single day!

How did prompt engineering die so quickly? ☠️And what the heck does context engineering even mean? One of the trickiest things about LLMs is they're changing daily, yet they're the engines that drive business results. But if the engine is constantly changing, then you also have to change how you drive and the roads you take.

In this episode, Saswat Panigrahi, Waymo's CPO, joins me for the third conversation in the "Inside PM" series. Saswat joined Waymo in 2016, back when it was still Google's self-driving car project and the entire product team was fewer than five people, and has spent all ten years since on the same product.

The fastest way to lose your privacy in 2026 is to assume the default settings are on your side. We start with a big question that's about to hit schools and workplaces hard: can AI watermarking actually prove a piece of writing was generated by a model? Anthropic says yes, using a subtle “fingerprint” inside the text itself, built through token steering and patterned word choices. We walk through how it works, why it's different from metadata labels, and where it can go wrong, especially when false positives turn into real consequences.Next, we get practical and blunt about online safety. The FBI is warning that criminals are breaking into accounts to steal private photos and then using them for sextortion, harassment, and resale. We talk through what the attackers look for, why public visibility makes student athletes a target, and what actually reduces your risk: strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and keeping sensitive content out of accounts that can be compromised.Then we bring back our listener-favorite letters segment and read real scam emails, because nothing sharpens your instincts like seeing the tricks up close. We break down “support ticket” bait designed to push you into granting remote access, a surprisingly smart security-themed email that hides a malware download behind a “read more” link, and a fake Facebook lookalike domain that's almost impossible to notice at a glance. Mike the AI guy caps it off with a rant you'll want to hear about Twitch and Amazon training generative AI on streams and chat logs unless you find the buried opt-out.If you like smart tech news, scam breakdowns, and privacy talk with a whiskey pairing, hit subscribe, share the show with a friend who clicks too fast, and leave us a review so more people can find TechTime Radio.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Most organizations think they have an AI tool problem. They do not. They have an AI behavioral problem. The licenses get bought, the workshops happen, and by Monday morning, people are back to working exactly as they did before.This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage, and pay anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Jamie Bykov-Brett, an AI transformation strategist, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of the Executive AI Institute. Jamie's path into AI started in youth work, supporting young people from marginalized backgrounds into STEM careers. It was there, back in 2014, that he began forecasting how automation would reshape the workforce, discovering along the way that technology adoption rarely fails because of the tools themselves; it fails because people were never taken through the change. That change management lens is exactly what he brings to AI training and organizational transformation today.Nick and Jamie explore why one-off AI workshops rarely create lasting behavior change, and why real transformation starts with human-centric skill development, not the tools. They unpack the "eliminate, automate, delegate" framework for deciding where AI actually belongs in a workflow, why psychological safety is the missing ingredient in most AI rollouts, and how legacy failed change projects can quietly sabotage adoption before training even begins. They also dig into why your most resistant employees might be your best future change agents, why highly technical people sometimes struggle most with AI adoption, why organizations should expect a temporary dip in performance during rollout rather than instant ROI, and what it actually looks like to design an AI learning intervention that turns AI into a daily working habit rather than a novelty.In a world where organizations are under pressure to prove AI adoption is working immediately, this episode makes the case that the real barriers were never technical. They are emotional, cultural, and behavioral, and the organizations that address that will be the ones that actually get results.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone responsible for making AI adoption actually stick inside their organization.Enjoyed this?

AI becomes valuable when it helps people do their real work, not when it simply becomes another tool to manage. In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson welcomes Aya Takase, Head of Global Marketing Communications at Rigaku and Vice President of AI Operations, for a practical conversation about helping employees adopt AI in ways that improve communication, decision making, and everyday work. Instead of discussing the latest AI trends, Donna and Aya focus on real business challenges: How busy professionals can start using AI today Why marketers are often the best people to lead AI adoption How to review AI-generated content before publishing it Why companies don't need dozens of AI tools How internal AI champions can help entire organizations learn faster Why understanding your business is more important than understanding AI Whether you work in manufacturing, industrial marketing, an association, or another B2B industry, you'll leave with practical ideas you can begin using immediately. At World Innovators, we believe AI should strengthen communication, support business strategy, and help companies build stronger relationships with their audiences. This conversation demonstrates exactly how thoughtful AI adoption can support those goals.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus and co-organizer of AI roundtables with EcoCivilization. The conversation covers a wide range of AI-related topics, from the cultural implications of AI development across different countries to the evolution of Ekaterina's perspective on artificial intelligence—moving from initial anger and fear in 2023 to active participation in AI model design by 2025. They discuss the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives in AI training, the cross-country differences in AI regulation (comparing Argentina's human-out-of-the-loop approach to Europe's cautious stance), and the critical question of which sectors need humans in the decision-making loop. The discussion ventures into brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink, examining what happens when technology is removed and questioning whether healthy humans should pursue such enhancements, before touching on the future of personal AI models and the preservation of indigenous wisdom in AI training. You can connect with Ekaterina on LinkedIn to follow her work on AI, education, and cross-cultural technology development.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Ekaterina Matveeva, founder of Amolingua and Lingo Plus, discussing her work organizing AI roundtables with EcoCivilization05:00 Ekaterina shares her evolution from anger toward AI in 2023 to realizing collaboration potential, emphasizing importance of multicultural perspectives in AI development and training10:00 Discussion of Argentina's new AI liability bill creating human-out-of-loop systems, contrasting with Europe's human-in-loop requirements and different global regulatory approaches15:00 Safety considerations in robotics and AI development, comparing industrial automation standards across regions and discussing Pentagon's use of Anthropic with Palantir systems20:00 Exploring brain-computer interfaces and Neuralink developments, questioning enhancement versus necessity and examining motivations behind cognitive augmentation technologies25:00 Debating human capabilities beyond cognitive function, discussing nervous system, emotions, psychosomatics, and whether brain generates or receives thoughts30:00 Examining societal divisions from enhancement technologies, referencing Avatar and Years and Years series, questioning benefits for healthy individuals versus disability applications35:00 Discussing technological gaps between enhanced and standard populations, concerns about corporate seduction into cybernetic modifications, and lack of long-term safety studies40:00 Questioning who frames AI conversations and trains models, exploring dominant worldviews embedded in AI systems and Vatican-Anthropic collaboration implications45:00 Stewart shares mistakes with Facebook biometric data and building personal AI infrastructure, emphasizing importance of controlling your own models and data50:00 Analyzing whether massive data collection actually improves AI training, questioning if user conversations become buried garbage rather than meaningful model improvements55:00 Ekaterina discusses plans for organizing more roundtables, integrating indigenous wisdom into AI training, and connecting on LinkedIn for future collaborationsKey Insights1. Ekaterina Matveeva's perspective on AI has evolved significantly since 2023, moving from initial anger and fear about AI's impact on education and translation work to becoming actively involved in AI development and training. She realized that instead of resisting AI advancement, she could participate in shaping it by contributing her expertise in education, language, and cross-cultural communication. This shift represents a broader realization that diverse participation in AI development is crucial for creating more versatile and culturally sensitive models rather than allowing a monopoly of values from any single country or culture.2. The conversation highlights fundamental differences in AI regulation across regions, with Europe implementing human-in-the-loop requirements and comprehensive safety measures, while Argentina is reportedly creating frameworks for human-out-of-the-loop AI systems with limited liability. The United States falls somewhere between these approaches, pursuing rapid advancement with fewer regulatory constraints. These divergent approaches reflect different cultural values and priorities, raising important questions about whether AI development should prioritize efficiency and profit or human oversight and control in critical infrastructure sectors.3. Both speakers express concern about brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, questioning the motivation behind enhancing cognitive abilities when humans already possess multiple forms of intelligence including emotional, cultural, and bodily intelligence. The primary applications demonstrated so far appear limited to video games and potentially military applications, raising questions about whether the technology serves genuine human needs or merely represents an attempt to compete with robots. The speakers emphasize that humans are already complete beings with sophisticated nervous systems, senses, and capabilities that extend far beyond cognitive processing.4. A critical insight emerges around the question of what happens when advanced technologies are removed or turned off. This applies both to brain-computer interfaces and to broader civilization infrastructure dependencies. The speaker shares experiences from 2020 of attempting to live independently in rural California, discovering the challenges of isolation and self-sufficiency. This relates directly to concerns about creating dependencies on technologies where the software ownership and control remain unclear, particularly when those technologies become integrated into human bodies or essential services.5. The discussion reveals concerns about increasing societal division based on access to enhancement technologies. Beyond existing financial inequalities, the speakers worry about a future where people who can afford biological and technological enhancements will advance rapidly while others are left behind. This isn't about disadvantaging certain groups but rather about creating an unbridgeable gap between enhanced early adopters and what they call standard populations who may be intelligent people maintaining traditional ways of life but lacking access to expensive enhancement technologies.6. Matveeva emphasizes the importance of including diverse cultural perspectives, particularly indigenous wisdom and Buddhist traditions, in AI training data. She argues that current AI models reflect the worldviews, values, and hierarchies of their predominantly Western designers, which influences the guidance these models provide to users worldwide. By incorporating wisdom traditions from various cultures, AI models could potentially become wiser and more culturally adaptive, serving diverse populations more effectively rather than imposing a single cultural framework globally.7. The speakers discuss the problematic nature of data collection and ownership in AI training, noting that massive amounts of user data may not actually be improving AI models as expected. There are indications that some AI companies are now specifically requesting users to help train models on their prompts, suggesting that simply collecting billions of conversations hasn't been as useful as anticipated. This raises questions about whether the data users have given away over the past several years has actually made significant impact or is simply buried in chunks of information that aren't effectively connected to meaningful improvements in AI performance.

Health data affects artificial intelligence in important ways. Camille Nebeker, Ed.D., M.S., UC San Diego, explains why ethically sourced data is foundational to building trustworthy, AI-ready health data repositories. Nebeker examines how ethical sourcing applies across the full data lifecycle, including consent, governance, transparency, data quality, privacy, stewardship, and community engagement. She also shows how ideas from supply chain management and value sensitive design help teams identify ethical tensions and improve decision-making. This work helps explain why ethics cannot be added at the end of AI development and points toward more accountable data practices that support public trust and stronger downstream performance.

A lot of writers hear the word "training" and picture a conference room full of strangers, a slide deck, and a formal curriculum. That's not what I'm talking about here. The training opportunity most freelancers are sitting on is much smaller, much more personal, and already happening inside your existing client relationships. You're just doing it for free, and you probably haven't recognized it for what it is. In this episode, I break down what AI training actually looks like at the freelancer level: one-on-one coaching with a key contact, a focused small-team engagement, an ongoing embedded arrangement. And I spend real time on the objection that stops most writers before they even get started: "I don't know enough to teach anyone." The knowledge gap between you and your clients is bigger than you think. And the clients who need this help most aren't looking for a guru. They're looking for someone a few steps ahead who already knows them and their business. What You'll Learn Why the training work you're already doing informally is worth real money What a realistic training engagement looks like at the freelancer level, from a simple coaching series to a small team workshop Why you don't need to be an AI expert to deliver real value to your clients right now How to think about pricing when you're selling a transformation, not hours Why training engagements have a natural tendency to open doors to other, deeper work with the same client What to say to a current client to start this conversation without it feeling like a pitch Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. You're already doing this work. If you've ever spent time on a call walking a client through an AI tool, troubleshooting their outputs, or explaining why their results came out generic, that's training. You've been delivering it informally for free. The move is to recognize it, name it, and package it as a real engagement. 2. Training doesn't mean a room full of strangers. At the freelancer level, training usually means one key contact at a client you already know, or a small team of two to four people. It's focused, practical, and built around their specific tools and content types. A coaching series of four to six sessions is a perfectly complete engagement. No slide deck required. 3. You don't need to be an expert. To a third grader, an eighth grader is a really big, smart kid. You don't need to know everything about AI. You need to know more than your client does right now, and for most of your clients, that bar is lower than you think. What makes you specifically valuable isn't generic AI knowledge. It's your understanding of their content, their industry, and what good looks like for them. 4. Price toward the outcome, not the hours. A training engagement isn't worth your hourly rate times the number of sessions. It's worth the value of the transformation you're helping the client achieve: time saved, quality improved, risk reduced. Start by asking what it's worth to your client to have a reliable, on-brand AI workflow in place. Then price toward that number. 5. Training gets you closer to the work. When you're embedded in a client's process, you see things you wouldn't see from the outside: where quality control is breaking down, where the content strategy is unclear, where editorial judgment is missing before content ships. That proximity naturally surfaces new ways to help, without any pushing required. Action Steps Think of one current client who has asked you AI-related questions in the last few months. That's your starting point. Write down what you've already been helping them with informally. That's the foundation of your first training offer. Sketch out what a four to six session coaching series would look like for that client, built around their specific content types and workflows. Think through the outcome: what would it be worth to that client to have a reliable, on-brand AI process in place? Use that to anchor your pricing. Draft one paragraph describing the offer in plain language: what it covers, how long it runs, what the client walks away with. Keep it simple and concrete. Have one conversation. Tell a current client you've noticed they've been asking AI questions and ask if it would be useful to formalize that a bit.

How do you stay in control of AI while still benefiting from everything it can do? As AI becomes more powerful, many leaders are focused on getting AI to do more work. But perhaps the better question is: How do you make AI more effective without letting it influence your thinking, your brand, or your business direction? In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson explores why leaders must remain the decision-makers while using AI as a tool to strengthen expertise, deepen customer relationships, and improve business outcomes. You'll learn why AI should enhance your knowledge rather than replace it, how to train AI around your company's goals and values, and the questions every leader should ask before using AI-generated recommendations. If you're responsible for marketing, sales, leadership, customer relationships, or business strategy, this episode offers practical guidance for maintaining control while leveraging AI effectively. In This Episode: Why AI naturally influences decisions and direction The difference between getting AI to do more and getting AI to be more effective How leaders can maintain ownership of their expertise Why your brand voice must remain stronger than AI suggestions The importance of building AI libraries and organizational knowledge Questions to ask before every AI prompt How to keep customer relationships at the center of AI adoption A simple test to determine if AI is helping or leading your business Key Takeaway Before every prompt, ask yourself: What am I trying to accomplish?

Empowering Industry Podcast - A Production of Empowering Pumps & Equipment
Dawn Gagye joins Charli on the Pod this week to talk AIMost founders do not need more ideas. They need better structure around the growth already happening in the business. Dawn Gagye is a Fractional CMO, strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and WSI certified AI consultant. Dawn helps CEOs and founders of growing U.S. businesses build stronger marketing systems and adopt AI in practical ways that support the business instead of distracting from it. The companies she works with usually are not starting from scratch. They already have momentum, a team, and real revenue. But as the business grows, things get harder to hold together. Marketing feels disconnected. Reporting is inconsistent. Teams are busy, but not always aligned. And AI keeps showing up as something important, even though no one has time to sort through the noise. That is where Dawn comes in. Dawn helps leaders simplify growth by creating stronger structure behind the scenes: clearer strategy, better marketing systems, improved accountability, and practical AI adoption that saves time and reduces friction. Dawn believes AI should make a business more effective, not more complicated. The goal is not to add another layer of tools. The goal is to help leaders and teams work smarter, make better decisions, and create more leverage across the organization. With 25+ years in strategy, Dawn helps businesses turn complexity into clarity and growth into something more sustainable. Based in Birmingham, Alabama and serving clients coast to coast.Find us @EmpoweringPumps on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter and using the hashtag #EmpoweringIndustryPodcast or via email podcast@empoweringpumps.com
