Today’s episode is packed with power as Geoff Livingston and Greg Verdino dive deep into AI ethics. With ChatGPT churning out fake news and Midjourney attempting to pump the brakes on deepfakes, it’s no wonder companies and countries are looking to rein in the use of generative AI.

Geoff and Greg explore all of this and more, as they ponder whether humans are striking back against runaway AI productization. Geoff shares his thoughts on the seven essential elements for corporate responsible AI policy, the guys discuss some practical ways to keep AI from going off the rails (and taking your brand reputation with it) and tackle some tough questions that were submitted in advance by show listeners. (Psst… Want to suggest a topic or have your question answered? Email your ideas to hello@nobrainerpodcast.com.)

The show wraps with some thoughts on why it’s important to involve your employees in your AI ethics decisions, and even more important to understand what your consumers expect when it comes to how your brand uses AI in your marketing programs.
