Tech will shape our future, but who shapes the tech?

In this episode, I connect with author and technologist Adam Braus about building AI systems that prioritize human values, not just innovation and speed. We explore the risks of designing AI without a clear ethical vision and how leaders can apply design thinking and collaboration to drive better outcomes.

Adam explains why aligning AI with purpose is not a luxury but a necessity. He discusses how cross-functional teams, long-term thinking, and ethical frameworks can strengthen AI development.

Whether you're training your workforce, building automation strategies, or shaping company-wide AI adoption, this episode offers real value. Tune in NOW: Aligning AI With Humanity’s Deepest Values And Vision.
