MC is not just brilliant, she's also an extremely amazing human! So glad to have had her at the podcast.
Such a great reminder that current or popular UI/UX trends might not work for a particular audience and how important user research is! Was so lovely to have you, Nida!
Thank you for the inclusion. Had an amazing experience!
Way to go Nida! 🤍
Thank you
Love that this is such a no-fluff video and yet leaves one with food for thought. Andrea is a total powerhouse!
AI without Ethics is a bad combination. Without ethics in AI, we're headed for a disaster. Disruption is good, only if done in an ethical manner. These days, too many founders are eager to implement AI, but not a lot of them are keeping the ethics in mind. More business owners need to be educated on ethics portion of it too, not just the monetization aspect of it.
Absolutely. Leaders and evangelists have a significant responsibility towards ensuring ethical use of AI (or any technology for that matter!)
@@minervafutureofwork Last week here in Toronto, I was with a few fellow leaders and one of them was willing to use AI for certain unethical solutions. Needless to say she lost her credibility as a leader and her general thought process. Certainly, we will be keeping our distance from any potential collaboration.
In this episode, we're exploring the future of AI, reponsible AI, Web3, and the space economy with Andrea Prazakova. Don’t miss our conversation on how human-centred AI can create a better balance between technology and people, prioritising well-being over profits. Watch the full episode and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights from global leaders - How are you preparing your organisation to leverage AI while maintaining a people-first approach?

Late night motivation: I also want to start a social enterprise that is financially sustainable instead of chasing money throughout and just have an NGO!
Her energy is contagious, isn’t it?
Interesting solution! I came across a similar company called Every Water, which offers low-cost purifiers that can be attached to taps, instantly turning regular tap water into safe drinking water-especially useful in areas impacted by the climate crisis or in rural regions where access to clean water is a challenge.
Are you a founder or CEO of a social enterprise? We’d love to hear your thoughts on Christine’s blueprint for building a profitable social enterprise while ensuring long-term impact. What stood out to you in this episode? Let us know in the comments!

Amazing video.I invest in London's real estate and the real estate sector has taken a battering due to punitive government 's tax legislation imposed on property investors and interest rate hikes.

This video sounds incredibly insightful! Especially interested in Zara's perspective on building EdTech communities and what makes a founder successful in this space. Learning about alternatives to VC funding and effective retention strategies in EdTech also piques my curiosity.
Glad you enjoyed it!
