Episode 13: How can we ensure that AI doesn't leave a "body count" in its wake?

Today’s guest is uniquely qualified to answer the question: How can we ensure that AI doesn't leave a "body count" in its wake? Steve Levy is the principal talent advisor at DHI Group and an influential voice on all things TA (talent acquisition). By body count, we mean AI’s potential threat to jobs, social equity, and, gulp, humanity. We touch on: Steve’s 34-year stint saving lives (and we assume having some fun) as a Jones Beach lifeguardthe AI “fear factor”the importance of maintaining AI-human balancethe need for self-learning among recruiters”radical transparency”... and my two favorite topics: “automating stupidity” (what you definitely do not want to do)“HR’s Ethan Allen syndrome” (you will LOL). Bonus Content: generously waiving his standard Actor’s Equity rate, Steve did a dramatic reading of the famous courtroom scene from "Inherit the Wind" to emphasize the importance of critical thinking over blindly accepting dogma, and offered up a vaguely recognizable Tony Soprano applying for a sales job at a Jersey car dealership. As to the question of AI’s body count, Steve saves the two-word answer to the very end…the wait will seem brief, as we’re sure you’ll be riveted for the 60 minutes that precede it.
