ChatGPT Leak Panic | Workday AI Lawsuit Escalates | Life Denied by Algorithm | AI Hiring Done Right

Episode notes

Happy Friday, everyone! This week’s update is heavily shaped by you. After some recent feedback, I’m working to be intentional about highlighting not just the risks of AI, but also examples of some real wins I’m involved in. Amidst all the dystopian noise, I want people to know it’s possible for AI to help people, not just hurt them. You’ll see that in the final segment, which I’ll try and include each week moving forward. Oh, and one of this week’s stories? It came directly from a listener who shared how an AI system nearly wrecked their life. It’s a powerful reminder that what we talk about here isn’t just theory; it’s affecting real people, right now. Now, all four updates this week deal with the tension between moving fast and being responsible. It emphasizes the importance of being intentional about how we handle power, pressure, and people in the age of AI. With that, let’s get into it. ⸻ ChatGPT Didn’t Leak Your Private Conversations, But the Panic Reveals a Bigger Problem You probably saw the headlines: “ChatGPT conversations showing up in Google search!” The truth? It wasn’t a breach, well, at least not how you might think.
