WATCH NOW! RISING TO NEW HEIGHTS OF IT, AI CAPABILITIES (Connecting the Digital to Human Needs Not the Other Way Around) A Panel of Digital Experts Discuss
Recently I have interviewed 3 prominent individuals In the Computer, IT, AI worlds. David Cieslak, Lon Safko and Marty Cooper. Each were amazing to talk with and each told a story of their pioneering journeys of where they were to where they wanted to be and where they arrived. It was fascinating. Please see our Always Creating Value™ Podcast page to watch full episodes, excerpts, and find out more about past and upcoming guests, etc.
The one thing that came home for me was that with all the success technology has had and all the changes and benefits that we have had, there seemed to be the need for a bit more humanity in the equation. We all know about the questions regarding our IT magnets and the to-be explored challenges they and the public are experiencing. But I would think that this is the tip of iceberg and humans might have a say in it—hopefully.
For our July 2022 podcast, I have asked David, Marty and Lon to explore with me how we might all tap into a creating value mode to see what we might, together, explore as to what we can do to help maximize, for all. the promise of technology. Let’s let a little creativity and humanity lead as opposed to just doing it the way we have always done and that is to Debate. Maybe:
Look not so much for what is wrong but what can and should be!
Join us for this free-flowing experience. We will all learn something.
For a little more introduction to our panelists, please see a snippet from each of their previous podcasts. Hope you join us.
