Interview topics
What we can talk about
Managing partner Mark Ferguson writes HumaneBytes, a weekly column on AI, technology and business that always asks the same question: what does this mean for people? These are the subjects reporters and event hosts ask us about most.
AI and the future of work
Which jobs change first, what happens to the entry-level rung of the ladder, and what layoff totals leave out. Practical advice for employees and the leaders making the calls.
What AI really costs a business
The subscription is the cheap part. Token prices, cleanup of unchecked AI output and the time spent managing tools add up fast, especially for small companies.
The AI bill everyone pays
Data centers need power and water, and chip demand pushes up the price of phones and laptops. How the AI boom shows up on bills for people who never typed a prompt.
Data privacy and security
What AI companies do with what you type, and why one misconfigured system can expose a million customers. Plain-English steps any business can take.
Keeping people in the loop
AI is a strong assistant and a poor substitute for judgment. Where it helps doctors, lawyers and marketers, and where handing over the thinking backfires.
Technology choices for growing companies
Who really owns your online store, why new productivity tools often create more work, and how hiring software decides who gets an interview.
