Would You Say Stop? - AI risk in a world of non-experts

For most of us, the most dangerous thing we’ll do today is drive a car, hurtling a ton of metal at high speed down the road, surrounded by dozens of strangers doing the same, but somehow, most of the time, it ends without incident. That’s not because we’re great drivers, but rather because traffic is instead built assuming the exact opposite: that we all make mistakes constantly. Behind the everyday act of driving sits a massive system of risk management and safety design, and in this episode, I’ll explore why the future of agentic AI might become a system very much like traffic - and what we can learn from the roads about building safe AI Agent systems.

From jaywalker to jayworker - pushing the value of AI

Everybody knows plenty of laws restricting the use of their car, but can you name some laws that actually encourage the use of cars? There are some, and some were actually designed by the very people selling cars - and if you want to stimulate AI use in your company, you better take a page from their playbook! This week: don't limit your AI governance to compliance with regulations alone, it can be sooo much more valuable!

A general purge - why AI technology isn't the problem

AI is exploding into our business landscape, and many have argued that its speed of evolution far exceeds that of previous technologies. And while that probably is correct, I can think of at least one monumental technological watershed moment that unfolded in mere weeks, and changed the world forever. The early days of “the war to end all wars” teach us about the problems leaders face when digesting new technologies at speed, and in this episode, I argue those problems are not technical issues themselves.
