What if AI isn’t just changing how we work — but who we are? In this compelling episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul sits down with Dr. Lollie Mancey — anthropologist, AI ethicist, educator, and champion of human-centered innovation — to explore the real conversation we need to be having about artificial intelligence: not just how it makes us faster, but how it shapes our future.
