Episode 11: AI in Human Services feat. Justin Blumhorst

🤖 AI is everywhere, but what does it actually mean for the people and organizations doing human services work? In this episode of Mission 501: The Podcast, Dr. Aldrich sits down with Justin Blumhorst to cut through the hype and get honest about what AI can (and can't) do for human service organizations and the communities they serve. We cover: ✅ Where AI is already showing up in human services 💡 The real advantages — from reducing burnout to expanding access ⚠️ The risks providers can't afford to ignore, including resistance, bias, privacy, and automation complacency 🤝 Why human dignity and relationships have to stay at the center 🗺️ Practical guidance for leaders navigating the pressure to "do something with AI" Whether you're already exploring AI tools or just starting to ask the questions, this conversation will help you think more clearly about what's at stake — and what thoughtful adoption actually looks like in human services. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
