More Human

Technology EN ↓ 9 episodes

What happens when AI meets human-centered work—like teaching, healthcare, or hiring? In each episode, I bring together the people at the intersection of AI and human services. We talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what it really means to make AI more human. We will have real conversations about trust, friction, learning, and care. If you’re building AI, using AI, or just curious about how AI is changing the how we learn and communicate, this is the show for you.
