Practical RAI for Companies

Is ChatGPT Making Us Dumber?

MIT researchers found our brains quiet down when we offload to AI. My guest Paul Truax (Cognify Learning Company) argues the fix isn’t less AI—it’s using it right to deepen learning and strategy. We break down the study, “director vs. automation,” and how to turn answers into understanding.

How AI Agents Will Take Over Jobs Requiring Human Intelligence

This week, I am honored to have Harneet Singh on the show, known as the "Lion Founder" and the innovative mind behind Rabbitt.AI, a company leading the charge in creating sophisticated AI agents. Harneet, a seasoned serial entrepreneur, believes that 2025 will be remembered as the "Year of the AI Agent," representing a transformative moment in how businesses leverage Artificial Intelligence.

Practical RAI for Companies

This week, we’re diving into one of the most important—and tricky—questions in Responsible AI: Are Responsible AI principles culturally relative? If so, what does that mean for companies trying to implement Responsible AI for their products? For example, if fairness means something different in Norway, the United States, or a Muslim country, how can companies possibly implement Responsible AI in a way that works for everyone? To help unpack this, I’m joined this week by Pouria Akbari who is a PhD student who has published several papers on the practical challenges of implementing Responsible AI.

Do We Owe ChatGPT the Same Care as Animals?

Should we care about the welfare of AI in the same way we care about other intelligent beings? And at what point on the road to Artificial General Intelligence do we need to pause and ask: Are we causing our AI agents harm? In this thought-provoking episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with philosopher John Basl to explore his groundbreaking paper, “The Ethics of Creating Artificial Consciousness.” Together, we’ll unravel whether AI might one day deserve moral consideration—and what that means for the future of humanity and technology.

Will GitHub Copilot Make Software Engineers Obsolete?

This week, I got the opportunity to sit down with Ari LiVigni from GitHub Copilot to discuss the future of coding. Coding assistants are edging closer and closer to enabling developers to build apps using human language.  Does this mean that we can just fire all of the engineers and have product managers build all of our apps?
