Original Intelligence in the AI Era with Jonathan Aberman

On this episode of the California Sports Lawyer Podcast with Jeremy Evans, we sit down with Jonathan Aberman, co-founder and chief executive officer of Hupside, a visionary technology platform advancing a new paradigm in how humans create value in an AI-driven world. Hupside is on a mission to measure what machines cannot replicate—Original Intelligence—and to help organizations identify and cultivate the human originality that drives true innovation and sustainable competitive advantage. Jonathan shares his journey from entrepreneurship, venture investing, and academic leadership to leading a company at the forefront of human-centered artificial intelligence transformation. He explains why most AI adoption efforts fail without understanding the human factor, how originality can be quantified, and why human thinkers will define the future of work and innovation. We unpack the implications of Original Intelligence for teams, leaders, and learners, and explore how aligning human creativity with technological tools can unlock performance, insight, and strategic growth. Whether you are a founder, executive, lawyer, or innovator navigating the age of AI, this conversation offers a compelling perspective on what it means to lead with originality in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
