Tech-Life Balance: The Human Edge in a Digital World

There's more to productivity than time and energy. There's also tech and—most important of all—balance. How are you balancing tech and your human connection?

In the latest three episodes of the Human Pulse Podcast: Living Well with Technology, Fabrice Neuman and I explore meditation, habits and routines, diversity and what it has to do with AI, real-life use of AI, and how to get the most out of it.

Are We Ready to Interact with AI?

In Episode 4, we discuss the transformative effects of meditation on personal habits and routines, delve into the fictional world of The Murderbot Diaries, and examine the complexities of human interaction with AI constructs. The conversation touches on themes of belonging, trust in technology versus trust in humans, and the implications of advanced robotics in our lives. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and broader societal observations, we encourage listeners to reflect on their relationship with technology and the importance of human connection.

Everyday AI: The Tools We use

Episode 5 reveals a fascinating paradox: as AI advances, our human skills become more valuable. We look at AI and its implications for the workplace and human interaction. We discuss the resistance to change that many individuals face when adapting to new technologies, the importance of emotional intelligence and adaptability in an AI-driven world, and the necessity of continuous learning. We reflect on the role of AI as a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity and problem-solving, emphasizing the need for human judgment in ethical decision-making.

We discuss the growing trust issues users face with AI, particularly regarding its reliability in communication and organizational contexts. The conversation explores the potential overselling of AI capabilities, the importance of natural language models, and the ethical considerations surrounding energy consumption in AI technologies.
