59. How To Keep Our Humanity In A World Of AI And Technology With John Gauntt
Oct 19, 2023 Episode 59
Elaine Lou Cartas

Is Terminator happening in real life right now? With AI becoming a part of our every day, it seems like it’s a machine vs. human world.

For example, remember the early days of social media? Now, social media is an integral part of life.

And AI is already part of our daily lives as we open up our phone, which uses face ID, or when we write an email or text, and AI suggests phrases or words to use.

The important question is… how do we maintain our humanity in a world of AI and technology?

And as technology develops, one thing is for sure -- our relationships, both personally and professionally, will be more important.

In this episode, I am pleased to be joined by John Gauntt, the founder of Culture & Code, a B2B podcast and newsletter that focuses on generative AI for creative professionals. I had the privilege of meeting John and collaborating with him at Podcast Movement, where I attended his enlightening AI-focused event.

What sets John's work apart is its holistic approach, which is not solely focused on harnessing AI for financial gain. Instead, it delves into the human aspect. This approach has earned his work recognition in esteemed publications such as The Economist and South by Southwest.

This episode is not just about crafting the best prompts; it is a discussion on how we, as humans, can preserve our essence in a world increasingly dominated by AI technology and automation.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  • Emphasis on the importance of being human while discussing AI and technology
  • The need for balance between automation and personal touch
  • AI's role in turning human language into a programming language
  • The impact of AI on the workplace and skills needed for success
  • Why it’s important to maintain relationships in business and personal life
  • AI's capability to extend human capabilities but not replace human relationships
  • Looking at ethical concerns about AI and its impact on industries
  • Focusing on delighting others through human interaction while using AI
