Episode Description

Summary

In this episode, Brad Hairston talks with Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach, an advisor and author who is dedicated to democratising AI literacy and fostering a deeper understanding of AI, robotics, and quantum technologies. Dr. Lauterbach unpacks the gap between AI fluency and true AI literacy and explains why that gap poses real risks for boards and businesses. The conversation covers cybersecurity threats from foundational models, why generic AI use cases fail without company-specific context, and her critique of the EU AI Act alongside her three-part framework for building genuinely responsible AI.

What we talked about with Anastassia:

  • AI Fluency Isn’t AI Literacy
  • Navigating AI Topics With The Board
  • The Real Risks Behind the AI Hype
  • Context Is King: Rethinking AI Governance
  • Regulating AI: What We’re Getting Wrong
