359: Getting More Women into A.I., Reducing Bias, and How to Use A.I. Responsibly with Juliette Powell

Whatever your opinion is about AI, it’s being integrated into everything we do, from what we see on social media to how facial recognition systems work to how decisions are made about you by companies.

I personally enjoy using ChatGPT and find it incredibly valuable, but I also want to make sure I’m using these AI tools responsibly and ethically.

This is why I invited Juliette Powell, co-author of the recent book "The AI Dilemma: Seven Principles for Responsible Technology,” to come on the show.

Juliette and I examine the compelling reasons why AI needs the influence of women's voices and how we can work towards a more inclusive AI landscape.

We talk about:

• The inspiration behind her co-authored book and why it's a wake-up call for responsible AI
• What companies are doing to reduce bias in AI systems
• The importance of having more women in AI, not only to diversify the field but to embed empathy and ethics into the technology that is increasingly governing our lives
• Actionable steps that can be taken to encourage women's participation in AI, from education and mentorship to policy changes and community support
• Our takes on venture capitalist Marc Andreessen’s recent, over-the-top manifesto on AI
• How we, as individuals, can use AI tools ethically and responsibly
• Juliette’s speaking experiences and tips

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
