    You Can't Automate Chaos: Amanda Jeffs on the HUMAN Problem Behind AIWhat if the biggest obstacle to AI transformation isn't the technology?It's us.Amanda Jeffs, Founder & CEO of SHE IS AI, joins the AIScento Podcast for a powerful conversation about what organizations are getting wrong—and right—as artificial intelligence moves deeper into business and society.Amanda's central thesis is simple:AI adoption is a human problem before it's a technology problem.If an organization lacks clarity, structure, governance, or readiness, AI doesn't magically fix those problems.
