    The 6-Layer Framework for Scaling AI That Actually Works

    Keith Richman sits down with Jeff McMillan, former Head of AI at Morgan Stanley, to unpack the realities of deploying enterprise AI. Jeff shares his journey of partnering with OpenAI in early 2022 and breaks down his six-layer framework for scaling AI effectively—emphasizing why models alone aren't enough. They explore the critical importance of data quality, governance, and the emerging "agentic orchestration" layer that will define the future of corporate AI. Jeff also explains why he believes the "Head of AI" title should be a temporary role and why giving every employee access to AI tools is the best way to drive adoption and reduce risk. If you're a business leader navigating AI integration, this episode delivers practical, battle-tested strategies.

    The Argument for Why AI Can’t Replace Teachers

    Is AI actually helping students learn? In this episode of Applied Intelligence, host Keith Richman sits down with Jason Robinovitz, an education business leader and micro-school founder, to discuss the real-world impact of AI in education. Jason shares why his school prioritizes human connection over screens, how he practically integrates tools like ChatGPT and Claude to empower teachers, and why heavily marketed "two-hour AI schools" might leave kids unprepared for the real world. They also dive into the ethics of AI in college applications and why AI might actually widen the educational gap rather than close it. Whether you're an educator, business owner, or parent navigating technology in the classroom, this conversation offers grounded, actionable insights on deploying AI without losing the human element.
