#177: AI Answers - AI Ethics, Flagging AI Content, AI Accuracy, Book Recommendations, & AI Intellectual Property
The Artificial Intelligence Show
Who’s doing AI well in L&D?
Paul cites Moderna, Cleveland Clinic, HubSpot, and McDonald's as examples and recommends integrated learning journeys.
In this episode of AI Answers, Paul Roetzer and Cathy McPhillips answer the complex, and often uncomfortable questions shaping the future of AI. From the moral framing of “good” versus “evil,” to the technical risks of viruses, misinformation, and intellectual property, the discussion unpacks what it really means to use AI responsibly in a world moving faster than regulation or understanding.
Along the way, Paul and Cathy discuss fact-checking AI, the emerging need to authenticate synthetic content, and keeping a human-centered role in creation and communication.
