    Responsible AI in Practice with Melissa Kühn: How to Navigate Ethics, Adoption, and the Human Factor

    Responsible AI sounds great in theory, until you actually try to implement it. What does it mean for a company with thousands of employees across multiple countries? How do you balance innovation with ethics, speed with safety, and automation with humanity? Melissa Kühn, Responsible AI & AI Transformation Expert, walks us through the messy, practical reality of making AI work responsibly at scale. We talk about the four stages of AI adoption, why Europe doesn't need to "win" the AI race, the surprising risks of AI companionship for lonely customers, and what happens to our brains when we rely too much on generative AI. This is a conversation about real decisions, real trade-offs, and what it actually takes to keep humans at the center when AI is everywhere. From tax systems to social contracts, from screen time to soil, we cover the parts of AI transformation nobody talks about enough. Human decisions matter more than ever. Let's talk about how we make them. AI Academy website

    How Matsume Built an AI Memory Companion Without Any Coding Experience - AI Academy students' stories

    What happens when someone with zero technical background decides to build an AI solution for a deeply personal problem? In this touching episode, we sit down with Matsume, a theater maker and AI Academy graduate who transformed her worry about her stroke-survivor father into a groundbreaking memory companion tool. Starting with absolutely no coding knowledge, Matsume used the skills from our AI Agent Bootcamp to create four different features - from daily medication reminders with her cloned voice to an adaptive storytelling system that preserves her father's memories for future generations. She completed not one, but two bootcamp editions through our AI Academy Membership, showing how persistence and the right guidance can turn anyone into an AI builder. This isn't just another success story - it's proof that the most powerful AI applications come from solving real human problems. Matsume's journey from feeling "powerless" as a daughter living abroad to creating technology that bridges distance and preserves family connections shows what's possible when we put AI in the hands of people who truly understand the problems they're solving. If you are wondering if you can build AI solutions without a technical background, Matsume's story will inspire you to take that first step. Sometimes the best builders aren't programmers - they're people who care deeply about making life better for the ones they love. AI Academy website

    Authorship in the Age of AI: an open conversation with Andy Lancaster

    What happens when a 30-year learning veteran meets AI? Andy Lancaster, founder of Reimagine People Development, joins our community for a raw conversation about writing, struggle, and what makes us irreplaceably human. We dive deep into the messy reality of creativity – from Andy's butterfly cocoon analogy (spoiler: the struggle is the point) to why Anne Frank's diary will always hit different than anything AI produces. This isn't your typical "AI will replace writers" debate. Instead, we explore the uncomfortable truth that maybe we need that 5 AM writer's block, the blank page anxiety, and yes, even the pain. Andy shares insights from his decades in organizational learning, his time working in drug rehab, and why he uses AI for research but draws the line at final copy. We tackle the big questions: Should your teachers get credit for your adult achievements? Can AI truly empathize? And why does a handwritten letter from a deceased aunt carry more weight than any algorithm ever could? Plus, we discuss practical wisdom for navigating our AI-assisted future – how to amplify without outsourcing your thinking, why some friction is worth keeping, and the art of knowing when to put down the prompt and pick up the pen. Fair warning: This conversation might make you reconsider how you use AI in your creative process. Sometimes the scenic route through struggle leads to places shortcuts never could.

She shares how she transformed from someone who "did not enjoy coding" to confidently building automated workflows that generate custom stories, complete with audio narration and images.

Instead of replacing parent-child storytelling time, her tool enhances it. We explore the creative process behind building AI applications without technical skills, discuss the ethics of AI-generated creative content, and hear why Noelia believes the future of AI isn't about replacement - it's about collaboration. This is what happens when curious people get the right training. From corporate communications graduate to AI app builder in just one bootcamp.
