What does it mean to adopt AI in a world where the rules are still being written? In this episode of AI in Motion , we explore the global race to integrate AI and the ethical dilemmas that come with it. From AI agents overstepping boundaries to the productivity paradox of generating more content than we can process, we confront the unintended consequences of rapid innovation. How do we balance tru...

Cutting through the noise, one question at a time. This season, we explore what actually happens when organizations try to use AI. No predictions, no fearmongering, just real stories and grounded insights. From separating signal from noise to the tangible impacts on work and thought, we ask the questions worth taking seriously. Let’s get moving.

AI promised to make sense of the world. But what if the real challenge is not the volume of data it is knowing what to trust, how to validate it, and how to turn it into actionable insights? In this episode of AI in Motion, hosts Michael Hanf and Arash Hajikhani use the 4Growth project as a case study to explore how AI is being used for foresight and horizon scanning in agriculture and forestry. F...

AI promised to make sense of the world. Instead, it’s drowning us in data. In this episode of AI in Motion , hosts Arash Hajikhani and Michael Hanf explore what “intelligence” really means in the age of AI. How are large language models and knowledge graphs helping us extract meaning from the noise and what are we trading for speed and convenience? From automated innovation tracking in Finland’s e...

AI promised to make everything easier. But what if the real cost isn’t just money it’s our data, our expertise, and even our ability to decide for ourselves? In this episode of AI in Motion, hosts Arash Hajikhani and Michael Hanf cut through the hype to explore the hidden trade-offs of commercial AI. From biased search results to algorithms replacing human expertise, they ask: Are we using AI to a...

AI promised to make work easier. But what if the real cost isn’t just jobs—it’s our cognitive skills, our collective experience, and even our ability to think critically? In this episode of AI in Motion , hosts Arash Hajikhani and Michael Hanf cut through the hype to explore the real impact of AI on the way we work. From the hidden trade-offs of productivity tools to the blurring lines of accounta...

AI promised to make information easier to find. Instead, we’re drowning in noise. In this debut episode of AI in Motion , hosts Michael Hanf and Arash Hajikhani explore the paradox of AI driven information overload: How did we go from scarcity to overload and why does it feel harder than ever to find what matters?   From rabbit holes that steal our time to AI generated research polluting the scien...

Cutting through the hype, one conversation at a time. Meet Arash Hajikhani (Research Professor for AI at VTT) and Michael Hanf (strategy professional) as they launch AI in Motion , a podcast exploring how artificial intelligence actually works in organizations, policy, and society. No buzzwords, no predictions, just real stories and grounded insights from the frontlines of applied AI. Coming soon....
