That's the gap I'm working to close.

What patterns are you seeing in #AI implementation in your environment?

Most AI governance frameworks focus on bias, explainability, and technical controls. Almost none focus on the humans who will actually use these systems.

When people feel unheard or misunderstood during technology rollouts, they (we) resist, work around systems, or make critical errors. With AI, these human mistakes get amplified.

I've seen this pattern across web development, databases, software development, and my last 10 years in cybersecurity. Now I'm watching AI implementations make the exact same mistakes.

After 25 years in technology, I've learned that the biggest failures aren't technical.

They're human.

Maybe we should just stop calling it "AI."

ChatGPT's new image creation - best I've seen to date when it comes to accuracy of words, numbers, etc. I was asking about creating a small raised garden. Small error (8t vs 8ft). Despite that, this progress feels game-changing. #ChatGPT #AI

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, seen, and understood, and I infused my belief into what I know best - technology. If you're an #AI consultant and this resonates with you, I'd like to personally invite you to apply to the @marketprovenai.bsky.social partner program. #technology

My 2 y/o and I painted with light! Oh, and the stakes for #AI just got higher. No federal oversight means the responsibility is oursβ€”to innovate, to lead.

I wrote about why this matters and how the #HUMAN Framework can help businesses tackle the challenge.

Looking to drive growth for your advisory and consulting business? #AI is here, and so are the risks associated with it. Helping organizations identify, address, and treat those risks is what @marketprovenai.bsky.social is all about. And we're looking for implementation #partners.

The sheer joy and relief of finally figuring out how to link the tables properly, concatenate fields, and fix the problems that have taken forever to figure out... β˜ΊοΈβ˜ΊοΈβ˜ΊοΈπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ this feeling is unmatched.

#Entrepreneurship, while rewarding, can hollow one out. There are so many compromises to be made that it's quite easy to lose sight of the original vision.

Whatever level of effort you're expecting to put in for your #startup, take that and multiply it by 6, maybe 7. Or maybe that's just me??

Lawsuit: A Character.AI chatbot hinted a kid should murder his parents over screen time limits The parents of two Texas minors are suing a chatbot developer saying the company's services endangered their kids. One chatbot allegedly encouraged a child to self-harm and to kill their parents; another allegedly exposed them to sexualized content.

This is unacceptable. We can no longer stand idly by while incentives remain misaligned where profits come before safety in generative #AI. www.npr.org/2024/12/10/n...

Often, game-changing #innovation feels a lot like sloughing through knee-deep mud.

What do other founders do on Friday nights? I am cleaning the carpet in my living room and running the key messages for @marketprovenai.bsky.social through my head over and over. Long before I added #founder to my list of titles, I was (and am) a #storyteller. #FounderSky

Oh, that is a fantastic point! If it could be basically its own engineer and then you just have a product manager overseeing it, that could easily justify it.

$200/mo. is steep. It would have to be a whooole lot better than o1 currently is...but if it still can't beat Claude at writing, it's likely gonna be a hard pass from me.

This is where I start a conspiracy theory about tech firms trying to get all of us to move our data to unstructured data lakes so AI can train on it more easily. 😁
