Speakers

In this episode of Masters of Data, we get into the messier side of AI adoption, tackling questions like who actually owns the output when AI gets it wrong, and whether chasing efficiency is making us forget what it means to be human in the first place. We discuss tech CEOs proudly announcing they no longer think for themselves and debate whether AI is quietly eroding our critical thinking skills. We make the case that purpose-built, narrow AI is genuinely exciting, but that no efficiency gain is worth losing the human touch that makes work, connection, and creativity meaningful. This episode is for security professionals, data practitioners, and anyone in tech wrestling with how to use AI as a tool without becoming one themselves.
