Building Trust in the Age of AI: Where Should We Draw the Line?

AI is making it possible to build faster, automate more, and create things that once required months of work and thousands of dollars. As the technology becomes more powerful, leaders face a bigger question: just because we can use AI, does that mean we always should?In this episode of Rooted Here, we sit down with Katrina German, founder of Ethical Digital, to explore how businesses and individuals can embrace the possibilities of AI without losing sight of trust, responsibility, and human impact.Katrina shares the entrepreneurial journey that took her from social media campaigns and video production to building a nationally recognized technology startup and eventually founding Ethical Digital. She also explains why the pressure to “use AI or get left behind” is not necessarily true and why leaders should begin with small, thoughtful decisions rather than rushing into large-scale adoption.The conversation explores AI’s impact on creativity, employment, hiring, misinformation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and the environment. Katrina also discusses the importance of digital literacy, human oversight, and building clear guardrails before allowing technology to make decisions on our behalf.Learn more about Katrina German and Ethical Digital:katrinagerman.comethicaldigital.caThis episode is presented by The Bamboo Podcast Network.Subscribe to The Bamboo Pod.Follow The Bamboo Pod on Instagram.Check out the Rooted Here series for more conversations with local entrepreneurs, innovators, and community leaders
