The stakes couldn’t be higher.
In this episode, we dive into what could be the biggest act of intellectual property theft in history—AI systems scraping decades of human creativity without consent.
We explore the impact on artists, writers, and creators, and what’s at risk for the future of culture and innovation. We also discuss what creators can do to protect their work and how we can all help shape the rules of this new digital frontier.

In this episode, we tackle the tricky balance between human creativity and AI in innovation work. We see AI as a helper, not a replacement. AI can speed up tasks and refine ideas but can't match the human ability to make subtle connections that drive innovation. We caution against hyping up AI and warn about the 'deskilling effect' - losing our skills due to too much reliance on AI. But, by using AI carefully and learning from it, we can enhance our abilities, express ideas better, and create effective solutions to our problems. We also discuss the need to share our AI experiences and learn from each other. Remember, AI is a tool, not a craftsman. Tune in to hear more!

In this episode, we're joined by Dan Silveira, who has developed a unique ethical framework for AI/ML. We focus on the six guiding lenses: Bias & Fairness, Diversity & Inclusivity, Privacy & Security, Ethical & Safe Use, Reliability & Trustworthiness, and Openness & Transparency. We discuss tools, inspired by design thinking, that fit into agile project management processes. These are especially useful in the four areas most vulnerable to bias - Discovery, Data, Experimentation, and Monitoring.
