Human + AI Impact Initiative

AI is making work faster, more creative but harder to stop. In this episode of Human+AI Impact , Dr. Sabrina Anjara is joined by Anthony Cannon to explore a less visible side of AI productivity: the rise of “always-on” work. As AI collapses the gap between idea and execution, it creates powerful flow states that can drive output, but also extend effort beyond sustainable limits. They unpack what t...

Most organizations measure AI adoption by access: licenses issued, seats activated, usage frequency. But access is not fluency. In this episode of Human+AI Impact , Dr. Sabrina Anjara and Rachel Earley unpack what real AI fluency looks like in practice. Drawing on Human+AI Impact research, they explore why high-fluency users iterate rather than accept first drafts, why polished outputs reduce scru...

Is Responsible AI slowing teams down—or is it just stuck in the wrong place? In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Anjara talks with Patrick Connolly about why governance must evolve for agentic AI systems. They explore how shifting governance into pipelines and runtime operations transforms it from a compliance bottleneck into a performance enabler. From AgentOps and real-time controls to trust as a measu...

AI is generating more ideas, options, and outputs than ever before—so why are so many organizations capturing less value? In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Anjara speaks with Darragh Miller about the AI surplus paradox and why traditional KPIs fail in a world of recursive, learning systems. They unpack how static dashboards hide end-to-end value, why measurement must become a living system , and how le...

AI can make work faster—but does it make it better? In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Anjara is joined by Dr. Manaswi Saha to challenge the idea that speed equals productivity in knowledge work. They explore why “just add human oversight” often fails, how misdesigned collaboration patterns quietly scale risk, and what it really means to measure human–AI collaboration quality . From agency and cognitive...

AI is everywhere—but productivity gains are harder to find. In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Anjara sits down with Fergus Gleeson to unpack why many organizations are stuck in “productivity theater”: celebrating time saved, tickets closed, and bots deployed while outcomes stay flat. Together, they explore why productivity in the AI era must be measured at the level of the human+AI workflow , not indiv...
