Build a big table: De-hyping AI for community and collaboration
Across many companies, the divide between AI boosters and AI critics keeps widening, with people in the middle anxious and confused. That division and anxiety doesn’t help us get work done.
Collaboration and impact come from building a space where no single point of view, hyped or skeptical, dominates the narrative. This is where de-hyping comes in—creating a neutral space where everyone can do their best work from wherever they stand.
In this talk, Audrey will share about creating a community where the skeptics, the hyped, and those caught in-between can help each other see their work and AI more clearly.
