This show features a conversation with Noelle Russell, a multi-award winning technologist and the founder and Chief AI Officer at the AI Leadership Institute. With a career that spans leading roles in tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Accenture and IBM, to name a few, Noelle has been at the forefront of A.I. innovation. She’s built over 100 conversational A.I. applications that have millions of users and has worked on customer projects worth billions of dollars. Noelle and I will focus on the intersection of innovation and ethics for generative A.I. as it applies to creative marketing and media professionals. We’re in this moment when I can craft amazing stories and accelerate creative design at blistering speed. And yet the world is simultaneously more vulnerable to deepfakes, misinformation, bias and the death of privacy. And so balancing innovation and ethics isn’t some esoteric academic subject.
