Human x Machine podcast

Season 2: Episode 15: Eoghan Huston (Chief Operating Officer, Manna Drone Delivery).In this episode I interviewed Eoghan Huston (COO at Manna Drone Delivery), we talked about the revolution that drones could make to our skies, and to customer experiences - can you imagine if your takeaway actually arrived hot (in less than 3 minutes from being ready!)?! We got the chance to go under the hood of the drones' technology and Eoghan gave us the low down on regulation and what's holding back mass adoption, at least for now.Given that the visuals really help when talking about drones and how they operate, we made this episode a 'video special' and you can find the video version on our YouTube channel along with other video specials.

Series 2, Episode 10: Reid Blackman, Phd., Founder & CEO, Virtue and Author of "Ethical Machines".This episode is full of candid advice from Reid who has advised tech giants in Silicon Valley, Governments, as well as NASA, the FBI and the World Economic Forum. In our discussion he shares about when the right time is to really start to take Ethics seriously in developing small and enterprise-wide AI ethics programs - the answer might not be quite what you expected! We also talked about a 'systemic unconscious incompetence' around some of the big issues in AI and Emerging Technology around topics like race, gender, human rights and privacy. We also talk about some of the biggest corporate transactions that have happened and are happening in the world, asking is it ethical for the 'Tech Bros' to buy, transform and sell these companies (Twitter, TikTok, OpenAI etc) to meet their personal goals or should there be some kind of 'competition standards' body that qualifies deals on behalf of the general public and qualify whether the transaction will also improve the users' lives. Finally, what will happen when Agents start to battle it out without human intervention? Can AI's manipulate the AI's that represent us in the future?Show Links to materials, profiles and books we mentioned:Reid's Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reid-blackman/Reid's book, "Ethical Machines": https://amzn.to/4buxZKuCoded Bias (Netflix documentary): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11394170/Reid's substack: https://reidblackman.substack.com/"Nexus" by Yuval Noah Harari: https://amzn.to/3DpF5TGListen and subscribe (on all your favourite platforms: Apple, Amazon, Spotify, Jiosaavn, Deezer and more): https://linktr.ee/humanxmachineMore:📢 For DAILY POSTS on Emerging Tech, Product Management, Leadership, AI, Gen AI, Automation and Quantum Computing updates, follow Christopher Lomas on Linkedin💙 If you enjoyed this episode, who else might?

Episode 7: Christopher LomasThis was a talk that I gave at several places this year, including Harbour Space University in Barcelona, Spain and CIM conference in London. We discussed the key considerations about what it means to become AI-empowered humans, and the potential benefits to humans and society, as well as the shadow side.
