Welcome to AI Unplugged Without Borders, the video podcast series from the Transatlantic AI eXchange—where we go beyond the headlines with the leaders shaping the future of AI.

Today is another special episode. We're sharing a deeply insightful Fireside Chat recorded live at our recent Remarkable Women in AI (RWIAI) Conference in Seattle.

How to "Do Good" When "Times are Bad" was a topic we discussed as part of an executive dinner event in Seattle.

Larry Brilliant has been at the heart of historic moments, working with global icons like Neem Karoli Baba, Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, and the Dalai Lama. His journey spans medicine, spirituality, and social change—playing a key role in smallpox eradication in India, curing blindness in over 4 million people, and shaping Google’s philanthropic initiatives.

In a world shaken by uncertainty—market turmoil, shrinking healthcare budgets, public sector layoffs, and rising global conflict—how do we find meaning, purpose, and resilience?

Here are the questions we were discussing:

• Are these truly the worst of times, or just a new kind of challenge?
• How can we do good when the world feels unstable?
• What practices help you stay grounded, joyful, and at peace?
• What message of hope can guide those feeling lost in the noise of political, technological, and economic upheaval?
• What actions can we take now to shape a better, more stable future?

Larry is, without question, one of the most profoundly inspiring voices in my professional journey. Listening to him is not only a joy, it’s a masterclass in humility, wisdom, and impact.

Enjoy the conversation.
