    Conscious Co-Creation and Leadership with AI (Live from Miami)

    Welcome back to How I AI. I’m your host, Brooke Gramer. Today I’m sharing something special.. a panel recorded live in Miami on August 7th at an event I co-hosted and moderated called Conscious Co-Creation and Leadership with AI.  This wasn’t your typical tech talk. The panel opened with my co-host, Marian Bacol, leading the room through a somatic breathing exercise and introducing her new project, the Nervana app: A tool designed to regulate the nervous system in an age where AI is moving faster than our bodies can keep up. From there, the conversation unfolded into a mix of bold ideas and grounded perspectives. You’ll hear:  Osiris Santos on sovereignty, why he doesn’t fully trust AI even as he builds with it, and how he once used AI to represent himself in a lawsuit and won. Jonathan Barry on how AI felt like a kundalini awakening that unleashed his creativity, and how he’s building The Deal Machine to transform investor relations. – My reflections on ethical leadership, education, and why critical thinking will be the differentiator in an AI-driven future. We explored questions like: – How can leaders create with AI responsibly when the pressure to move fast is overwhelming? – Are we at risk of becoming cognitively lazy by outsourcing too much to machines? – What does the future of education look like in an AI world, and what can we learn from models like Alpha School? The episode closes with a dynamic audience Q&A on data privacy, surveillance, and how founders can stay resilient when AI is evolving faster than their ideas. Concepts Mentioned: Nervana App – AI-Guided Somatic therapy sessionsThe Deal Machine – an AI-powered investor relations platformHack Your Education – Jonathan Barry’s book on project-based learningScaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution, Book by Noelle RussellAlpha School – a new model of education expanding to FloridaIf you’re curious about how to balance innovation with integrity or if you’re interested in curating panels and programming like this for your company, community, or conference then reach out below.
