Can AI Make Us Better WITHOUT Taking Away Our Humanity? | Dr. Vivienne Ming

3/27/2024
AI as a productivity tool is old news. The reality is that we’re just barely scratching the surface of what’s possible with generative AI. Today, we gain a different perspective on how AI can be leveraged as productive friction for enhancing human capacity. This isn't about making repetitive tasks easier; it's about making us better. In this episode, we explore the untapped potential of AI with Dr. Vivienne Ming, a renowned AI expert, neuroscientist, and visionary in leveraging AI to unlock the full spectrum of human capacity. As a self-proclaimed professional mad scientist, she’s the co-founder of Socos Labs and sits on the board and leadership teams at several other tech companies and organizations, including OptoCeutics and Dionysus Health. Dr. Ming has been at the forefront of using AI to unlock human potential and improve lives, challenging the conventional narratives surrounding artificial intelligence. We discuss how AI can serve as a powerful partner in augmenting human intelligence, pushing us toward deeper insights and solutions that we wouldn’t have reached on our own. From the workforce to education, Dr. Ming sheds light on how AI can boost our creativity, making us better learners, thinkers, and innovators. But it's not just about what AI can do for us individually; it's about how we can leverage it to create better teams and communities. By recognizing its limitations, we can get the most out of AI through productive friction, using it as a sparring partner of sorts to challenge our ideas, find areas of improvement, and see problems through a new lens. Curious about how AI can enhance your life and work, not just simplify it?

A Chat With The TED Conference Creator: Curiosity, Understanding, & Information Anxiety | Richard Saul Wurman

3/20/2024
Just because we live in the age of information doesn’t mean that we’re actually learning. As a society, we’re overwhelmed, and there’s a reason for it — the explosion of non-information. This candid episode reveals more about it. Today, we’re diving into the mind of Richard Saul Wurman, an American architect, designer, and visionary creator behind the TED Conference. He is a prolific thinker and content creator, having written, designed, and published 90 books, among a plethora of other accomplishments. Considered the father of information architecture, he shares his unique approach to understanding complex subjects and why he believes in embracing our “stupidity” as a way to innovate and remain curious and open to new ideas. Wurman also delivers a relevant criticism of the current state of education that relies on memorization and how AI is disrupting that. On the same note, he elaborates on the concepts behind his books “Information Anxiety” and “UnderstandingUnderstanding,” delivering a unique POV on how the currently overwhelming amount of non-information clouds our minds. Beyond AI, we also dig into how the TED conference was born and Wurman’s philosophy of work. These unconventional perspectives on innovation, learning, and communication offer listeners a fresh viewpoint on how to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

4 Reasons Why Fatherhood At Work Has Changed | Paul Sullivan

12/28/2023
DETAILS | How has fatherhood changed in the last three years, and is it time for a new approach at work? In this reflective episode, Paul Sullivan, former New York Times columnist and founder of The Company of Dads, shares his insightful journey from the newsroom to reshaping the narrative and policies supporting fatherhood at work. Paul defines 'Lead Dads' as fathers who take the forefront in prioritizing parenting and caregiving, challenging traditional gender roles and stereotypes. We also discuss why it makes a tremendous difference to see Lead Dads in senior leadership roles, how this shift benefits parents, retention, branding, and business, and why the CMO and CHRO should own and promote this strategic advantage. This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of parenting, work, and societal change. Tune in to explore how embracing the concept of Lead Dads can drive positive change in your organization and contribute to a more equitable and empathetic business environment.

Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties - or at the very least disentangle from traditional stereotypes around who does what at home. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul intimately understands the joys, frustrations, isolation, and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It's a role growing in numbers but far from normalized. Before starting The Company of Dads in 2021, Paul wrote the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times for 13 years. He also created the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine. He is the author of two books, Clutch: Why Some People Excel Under Pressure and Others Don't and The Thin Green Line: The Money Secrets of The Super Wealthy.
