#58 AI and the future of work with Dr Ali Fenwick
About this episode
There are many narratives around AI today. The late Stephen Hawking warned of our destruction at its hands, while others revel in its ability to enhance humankind.
I sat down with Dr. Ali Fenwick, Professor of Organizational Behavior & Innovation at Hult International business school, to discuss how culturally specific narratives of AI fuel fear or foster optimism and why he fully believes that AI should look and behave more like a human than a robot. An enlightening discussion about what AI means, how ChatGPT feels sentient, the predictability of algorithms and how Dr. Ali built a ~2 million social media following by creating viral content and lastly whether AI will threaten or enhance our human potential.
