What happens to our ability to react when we know AI might step in to save us? In this episode of RemAIning Human, Stanford Researcher Patrick Bissett delves into his new research that demonstrates how AI-assisted driving impacts our “response inhibition” — our ability to stop, slow down, or just generally react to an external stimulus while driving. Patrick's research reveals that when operating...

By 2027, AI could displace around 69 million jobs globally — and it’s likely that women will be disproportionately impacted. This is due to women over-indexing in high risk industries (think retail, healthcare, and clerical roles), and because approximately 70% of clerical and administrative jobs globally are held by women . Hannah Maude is sounding the alarm and offering a lifeline. In this episo...

What does it mean to truly flourish? One definition states that flourish indicates “a period of thriving" -- which fits the description that many AI company leaders promote as not only possible with AI, but ever-so-desirable: a blissed-out utopia in which the automation of work and an army of AI assistants have created a landscape where humans can sit back, write poetry, and ponder our existence....

As the AI landscape has evolved over the past few years, so have our choices. We can now choose from a variety of models for a variety of tasks. And yet, despite the multitude of models at our disposal, it’s easy to reach for the tool that’s simply open on the browser without considering our objective — and if that model is the model that best meets that objective. That’s where new research from S...

A second Trump term will have significant and far-reaching consequences on everything from female reproductive rights to foreign policy to immigration to inflation. And, of course, on the tech industry — at the exact moment when AI is poised to fundamentally change our ways of working and being.  Trump's administration is expected to lead to a decrease in regulation, including a repeal of Biden's...

Knowing your unique values is essential for leading a fulfilling life. Our internal values can be way-finders — sign-posts that help us to build healthy relationships, undertake projects that align to our purposes, and be the change we want to witness in the world. But knowing our values is becoming increasingly important in relation to another aspect of our shared human experience — the building...

I’ve got a treat for you today — a (spontaneously recorded) podcast conversation with renowned creative technologist, futurist, author, AI Masterclass instructor and my dear friend Don Allen Stevenson III . Why “spontaneous”? Because Don and I didn’t know we were going to record a podcast when we met in a downtown Mountain View cafe, just a few miles from where we went to high school together in t...

Welcome to the RemAIning Human podcast - a Responsible AI podcast where humans explore how to live in harmony with artificial intelligence. We're very glad to have you here as we navigate the AI transition together. Remain calm, remain human. In this first episode, I break down what's meant by "Responsible AI" -- a term that's not discussed enough in the mainstream media but is essential to unders...
