Jun 5, 202401:03:51Tap to summarizeA recent survey conducted by Talker Research revealed that 38% of Americans have never felt more uninspired at work than they do now. That’s a bit over one-third of the workforce! In light of this dissatisfaction, what can be said about management? The post-pandemic workforce has a new view on what gives their lives meaning and the benefits of hybrid work, making it more challenging than ever for managers to keep their teams engaged and productive. To share how management can face this hybrid workforce era is our guest Mamie Kanfer Stewart. She’s the founder and CEO of Meeteor, a coaching and training company that focuses on creating healthy, high-performing teams with a special emphasis on productive meetings, as well as the author of “Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings.” Mamie also hosts the Modern Manager Podcast, where she delivers practical advice to help people tap into their managerial greatness. In this episode, Mamie shares how managers, despite being the unsung heroes of the workplace, fail to receive the support and skill development they need from their leadership so they can excel at their jobs. Mamie points out the essential skills managers need to thrive in today’s ever-popular hybrid work environments — from effective feedback and authentic appreciation for creating high-performance teams to leveraging AI tools for productivity and collaboration. We also talk about meetings, why employees hate them, and how management can use them for relationship-building rather than wasting people’s time.

Transcribe →AI Biases EXPLAINED: When Can We Trust AI? | Phaedra Boinodiris, IBM Consulting’s Global Leader for Trustworthy AI
May 22, 202400:53:02Tap to summarizeAnyone who has experimented with generative AI knows the tech is still flawed. Despite massive investments in AI models, tools, and applications, the fact that AI outputs are still biased and inconsistently accurate raises global concerns regarding trustworthiness and who is responsible for making AI safe as it evolves at earth-shattering speed. The unfortunate truth is that presently, the majority of AI models only reflect a narrow sample of our collective humanity, inevitably reinforcing the existing biases of those who programmed AI and the narrow data sets used, making today’s AI models inept at delivering diverse perspectives. Unpacking the ethics and path to a safer, more responsible, and representative AI future is Phaedra Boinodiris, IBM Consulting’s Global Leader for Trustworthy AI. Phaedra is a top voice, author, speaker, and one of the earliest leaders responsible for reimagining AI initiatives. Her recent book, “AI for the Rest of Us,” and her role as co-founder of the Future World Alliance highlight her commitment to integrating ethics into AI education and development. She’s here to discuss the need for inclusive AI that represents all of humanity, outlining the important considerations leaders should take into account to ensure their AI initiatives are ethical, inclusive, and able to effectively augment our capabilities without compromising human values. Further, what AI governance models look like at IBM and how to develop the right teams to develop truly groundbreaking AI solutions without compromise. We talk about how AI ethics intersects with broader societal issues, including education, corporations, and parental responsibilities. Phaedra also shares IBM's approaches to AI training, tools, teams, and transparency as well as the importance of AI literacy in different fields, and why diversity is crucial in AI development. Tune in to understand why we must approach AI with the intentionality it demands so it can work for humanity, and not against it. — Key Takeaways: Introducing Phaedra Boinodiris & Her Take On Ethical AI (00:00) IBM’s Ethical Governance Model For Training AI (12:58) AI Transparency & Accountability vs. The AI Arms Race (17:11) Is Decentralized AI The Way Forward?
