Responsible AI in Practice with Melissa Kühn: How to Navigate Ethics, Adoption, and the Human Factor
Responsible AI sounds great in theory, until you actually try to implement it. What does it mean for a company with thousands of employees across multiple countries?

We talk about the four stages of AI adoption, why Europe doesn't need to "win" the AI race, the surprising risks of AI companionship for lonely customers, and what happens to our brains when we rely too much on generative AI.This is a conversation about real decisions, real trade-offs, and what it actually takes to keep humans at the center when AI is everywhere. From tax systems to social contracts, from screen time to soil, we cover the parts of AI transformation nobody talks about enough.Human decisions matter more than ever.

Authorship in the Age of AI: an open conversation with Andy Lancaster
What happens when a 30-year learning veteran meets AI? Andy Lancaster, founder of Reimagine People Development, joins our community for a raw conversation about writing, struggle, and what makes us irreplaceably human.We dive deep into the messy reality of creativity – from Andy's butterfly cocoon analogy (spoiler: the struggle is the point) to why Anne Frank's diary will always hit different than anything AI produces. This isn't your typical "AI will replace writers" debate. Instead, we explore the uncomfortable truth that maybe we need that 5 AM writer's block, the blank page anxiety, and yes, even the pain.Andy shares insights from his decades in organizational learning, his time working in drug rehab, and why he uses AI for research but draws the line at final copy. We tackle the big questions: Should your teachers get credit for your adult achievements? Can AI truly empathize? And why does a handwritten letter from a deceased aunt carry more weight than any algorithm ever could?Plus, we discuss practical wisdom for navigating our AI-assisted future – how to amplify without outsourcing your thinking, why some friction is worth keeping, and the art of knowing when to put down the prompt and pick up the pen.Fair warning: This conversation might make you reconsider how you use AI in your creative process. Sometimes the scenic route through struggle leads to places shortcuts never could.AI Academy website
