Flagship program
What Should We Delegate to Machines?
When should AI advise, and when should it decide? What does meaningful human oversight require? This seminar examines where human judgment remains indispensable — and how to design for it.
About this programWhat Every Leader Should Know
What contemporary AI does remarkably well, where it remains unreliable, why convincing output can mislead, and how to evaluate claims about emerging capabilities.
About this programWhat Every Professional Should Understand
Not prompt tricks or software tutorials. How generative AI works, why it fails, what it is good at, how to evaluate its output, and when reliance becomes dangerous.
About this programIn practice
Abstract questions about knowledge and responsibility now arrive as policy decisions, review processes, and hiring plans. These are the conversations I help leaders work through.
Why work with me
What is understanding? What counts as knowledge? What should we trust, and what should machines decide? I spent two decades on these questions as a philosopher before moving deeply into computer science and AI. Contemporary AI has turned them into decisions organizations make every week.
