Human Leadership for the AI frontier

This edition is something a little different. More of a roundup of a few things I’ve been working on that I hope will be helpful.

Human Leadership for the AI Frontier

First up, there’s this document (which I hope you can successfully download). It sets out 9 leadership principles for the AI frontier.

Now is a testing time for all leaders and in the absence of ‘best practice’ I wanted to try and codify some important principles that could serve as a compass of sorts based on insights from across our client base and beyond.

Humans in the Loop podcast

The podcast, which I describe as a podcast for thoughtful technologists, is in full swing now. I think I’m over the initial awkward hump and settling in a bit more, but still much to work on.

It’s been hard work but a couple of vindicating moments of late:

  • Alex Komoroske came on recently (episode is not yet released). When I shared the roster of current and upcoming guests, he described it as the best calibre guestlist of tech thinkers for any new podcast he’s come across.

  • Kevin Kelly came on recently (also not yet released). Definitely the most high profile guest I’ve had on so far so I was feeling a little bit of pressure to do a good job. At the end of the interview he shared this feedback: I really enjoyed this conversation. You asked a lot of questions that haven't been asked before, which is for me, one of the ways that I get to enjoy a conversation like this. So thank you for asking some fabulous questions that haven't been asked before. I really enjoyed my time here and thank you.

So please go and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts - Spotify, Apple, Youtube, Castbox and if you like what you here then give it a review.
