AI Empowered

Aaron Douglas

AI is no longer a tool you pick up. It is the condition you work in: drafts you didn't write, answers you didn't check, decisions that arrive pre-shaped. AI Empowered is about the person in the middle of that. Host Aaron Douglas works through real problems from client work, things he built, and ideas from his book, AI Empowered, and asks what good judgment looks like when machine output is everywhere. Some episodes are short solo arguments; some are conversations with researchers, builders, and leaders. Aaron trained in organizational psychology and family therapy, with 20+ years of experience, and is Principal at Auspicious (auspicious.llc). New episodes every few weeks.
