episode Quality Over Speed: Rethinking Productivity with AI (with Dr. Manaswi Saha) cover

Description

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 effort to joint utility and trust over time, this conversation reframes productivity as something you design—not something you accelerate blindly.

When Productivity Doesn't Switch Off: The Hidden Cost of AI Flow (with Anthony Cannon)

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 this new pattern of work feels like in practice, why traditional signs of burnout don’t apply, and how leaders need to rethink productivity design. Sabrina proposes stopping rules, flow boundaries, and new signals of over-engagement. Because the next challenge in AI-enabled work isn’t just performance, it’s knowing when to stop.
