Preserving human values in the dawn of a new tech era: How do we protect the future

This episode explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace, with Annabel Gillard emphasising the importance of preserving trust, ethics, and human value in an increasingly digital world. She talks to Laura about how AI is a powerful but imperfect “prediction generator,” highlighting both its opportunities and risks, including bias, job disruption, and the potential for dehumanisation if not carefully designed and governed.  Ultimately, the conversation is a call to action - encouraging individuals and organisations to engage with AI proactively, using curiosity, community, and courage to shape a more human-centred and positive future.Annabel Gillard is the co-founder of LSE LSE FORGOOD initiative advising corporate clients on ethical applications of behavioural science, and 'Conversations on AI', a cross-sector tech ethics network. She also leads on AI ethics, organisational culture and ethics-by-design for Brave Governance and Co-Labs Global.  Previously she spent over 20 years building institutional businesses in asset management and she serves on the City of London Corporation's 'Women Pivoting to Digital' taskforce, the Trustee Board of Clore Social Leadership, and the advisory committees of Blueprint For Better Business and the Institute for Business Ethics. She has an MA in Philosophy and AI, an MSc in Behavioural Science and is a CFA charter holder. Resources:Stuart Russell Reith Lectures 4 x podcasts  Rachel Caldicutt and the Society for Hopeful Technologists (survey closed but there's a link to the newsletter) Jon Alexander[http:///] and Citizens Anthropy - Inspiring a better Britain  Conversations on AI website: - come and join the conversations!
