Human-First AI: Lessons from Angie Carel

In this episode of Behind the Product, host Zac Darnell and co-host Raman Ohri sit down with AI strategist Angie Carel for a refreshingly candid conversation about the human side of AI adoption. From why skipping AI literacy is a guaranteed misstep, to how “corporate recess” can spark innovation. Angie brings clarity, empathy, and a touch of urgency to a rapidly evolving space. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just dipping your toes into the AI space, this one’s packed with insight and inspiration.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. AI Literacy is Non-Negotiable: Organizations fail when they skip foundational education. Without a baseline understanding, fear and misuse take hold.
2. Adoption Starts with Play: Introducing “corporate recess” gives employees a low-risk space to experiment, share, and discover meaningful use cases.
3. Experience Still Matters: Great outputs from GenAI come when real-world knowledge meets strong prompting—tools don’t replace wisdom.
