Techno Brew - The Evolution of AI: Pioneering Ethical Innovation & Understanding AI as a Partner
Are you ready to fundamentally rethink your relationship with AI? It's not just a tool anymore.Β It's becoming a partner.
In our latest episode, we sat down with Philippe Beaudoin (pioneering AI scientist, ex-Google ML, Element AI co-founder, now at LawZero), Erin Peterson (AI engineer turned law student, founder of Integrity AI), and Anshula Chowdhury (serial entrepreneur, University of Toronto instructor) to explore how AI is reshaping our world in profound ways:
ππ½ Reframing AI from Tool to Partner. Discover how extensive interaction with AI creates a qualitative shift in perception moving beyond understanding mechanics to experiencing genuine collaboration. Philippe shared why consciousness might be relational, not intrinsic, fundamentally changing how we evaluate AI systems.
ππ½ Building Robust Governance Frameworks. Learn the essential toolkit every organization needs now from AI inventories and risk scoring to sandbox testing. Erin gave us a break down on how to implement responsible AI governance from day one, while emphasizing that AI literacy is as critical as top-down regulation.
ππ½ Measuring What Really Matters. We tackled the elephant in the roomΒ discussing why metrics like profitability aren't enough. Anshula revealed why we need to account for environmental costs, social benefits, and human flourishing to understand how AI is exposing the difference between external motivators and our true inner drives.
ππ½ Navigating Creative Destruction. Our guests didn't shy away from hard truths and acknowledged that this "Schumpeterian moment" will be painful. Together we explored why the current Big Tech model is unsustainable, the myth of the AGI "space race," and Canada's unique opportunity to lead with progressive, humanistic values.
2025 was the "year of the AI agent" and the future is moving fast. This episode is essential listening for business leaders, technologists, policymakers, and anyone navigating the seismic shifts in how we work, think, and measure success.
