On this episode of Make Sense, Lindsay T. sits down with Lauren Maffeo, Senior Service Designer at Steampunk and Author of "Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up", to discuss the disconnect between the hype around AI and the reality of its impact on work. They explore topics from the fear of #ai taking #jobs, the need for better AI #guardrails and data encryption, and the importance of data comprehension over accumulation. Lauren shares her journey from being a journalist, to an award-winning author, to a thought leader in data, AI, and innovation. You won't want to miss her tips if you're an aspiring #writer wanting to get into the #tech industry.
The conversation then focuses on the question of "why does enterprise software suck?" They discuss the challenges like the lack of investment and poor user experience and how implementing AI can help improve these issues as long as organizations have clear business requirements and data governance practices before implementing.
