They discuss why firms like Anthropic and Google DeepMind are bringing in social scientists to study human behavior, improve model safety, and bridge the gap between technical development and real-world use. The conversation touches on how ethnographic research helps reduce bias, make AI more intuitive, and address cultural nuances—especially as models deploy globally. Lucas shares a striking stat: the number of anthropology job listings at top AI firms has doubled year-over-year since 2024. Luna pushes back with examples of past failures when tech ignored social context. Together, they unpack how deep understanding of human culture is becoming a competitive advantage in AI development on this June 15, 2026 episode. #AI #Anthropology #ArtificialIntelligence #Business #Technology #EnterpriseAI #AICompanies #Anthropic #GoogleDeepMind #HumanBehavior #AISafety #Bias #Ethnography #SocialScience #AIDevelopment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AIJobs Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
