What does fairness actually mean? We talk about fairness as a cornerstone of responsible AI. But what are we really measuring? The mathematical metrics used to define fairness in AI often sit far from the complex realities of justice, context and lived experience. This gap matters! If we want AI we can genuinely trust, we need to confront the difference between what can be calculated and what truly feels fair. Explore our carousel for a brief introduction into the discourse and to find out how technically fair AI systems can still lead to unfair outcomes. What are your expectations regarding fairness? Are our current metrics enough? #Fairness #FairAI #ResponsibleAI #AILiteracy #oxethica

I'm noticing in many cases, it's useful to the replace the phrase "AI can't..." with "I don't know AI can..." and evaluate which one seems more likely. Quite a lot of folks are Dunning-Kreuger'ing in this area, thinking that their expertise in their own human capabilities and the assumption they are superior is what's relevant, when it's really the technological affordances of a medium going through one of the most profound periods of mutability and innovation in human history.

Should we duplicate our brains to AI? I have seen this image and several posts that advocate for "duplicating your brain to AI." At first, I was really intrigued and could immediately see some of the benefits of doing so... but then my skeptical brain chimed in. There is a trade-off to consider here. Yes, my work and outputs will likely more closely align with my voice, the way I think, and my preferences, but is Claude and OpenAI just using this to create, use, and sell my digital twin/brain? Has anyone done this? Am I being overcautious? I would love some dialogue around this.

In this week's Flourishing Friday, I explore how AI can help us become more open-minded. New research finds we're more receptive to opposing views when they come from AI rather than humans, and this openness extends to how we feel about the people who hold those views. https://lnkd.in/gZM9VdZp

I am now sitting in an AI Master Lab stream on 'Human in the age of AI,' and am struck by this fresh idea. Think not about what you can do with AI, but what you don't have to do with AI. I think we are often forgetting that boundaries and restrictions are what drive CREATIVITY. After all, the art is the result of an individual selection. I guess I am closing in on the idea of challenging what to do and what not to do with AI. Join the conversation here - https://lnkd.in/dQC6SscU

The latest Factually newsletter edition is a reflective and personal narrative about a group discussion on the implications of AI, specifically focusing on what it means to be human, questions of trust, the future of work, the ethical dimensions of technology, and the evolving relationship between humans and AI. It emphasizes the importance of intent, context, and creativity in how we use AI, suggesting that our choices and questions shape its impact and our future. 👇🏼️

We’re excited to share that our client Matt Britton is featured in Star Magazine, weighing in on whether AI is a romance killer or the ultimate wingman. National outlets like Star put his perspective on a major stage, reinforcing his authority at the intersection of AI and culture. In the piece, Matt explains that AI can empower people to break the ice, communicate more confidently, and handle difficult conversations with greater thoughtfulness. The key, he says, is using AI as a springboard for genuine connection. https://lnkd.in/g3MzrBsv #ClientFeature #AI #ThoughtLeadership #AuthorPR #MediaPlacement

Another timely ready reckoner form the HBR. All of the four key points make perfect sense to me, especially the first three. I have been at a couple of events recently, where the vibe was very clear, in taking AI with caution and putting integrity ahead of hype. AI has huge potential and we are using it, but in an appropriate and calculated way to avoid what has been called "AI Slop". The 3rd point resonates particularly, as the world is is volatile and the "Unknown" is real, so any way that leaders can use their experience the fear around it , will have huge benefits. https://lnkd.in/dfJazCBZ

The more I talk with L&D professionals about the impact of AI, the more I see a growing divide between employees who will be working differently and external consultants who may well be working less, as organizations are able to accomplish more in-house (for less money). Anyone else noticing that? #FutureOfWork #GenerativeAI #WorkplaceLearning #LearningAndDevelopment

After scrolling through about ten LinkedIn articles today, I thought I would provide a much-needed public service and put up a post written by a human being (me), with no AI assistance at all. You're welcome. (Please forgive the lack of hyphens, one-sentence paragraphs, or the melodramatic recasting of common events into banal insights worded as profound wisdom. Without AI, it's tough to work those in).
