Generative AI is everywhere—from boardroom strategies to everyday tools—and with it comes a new urgency around ethics, responsibility, and impact. In this episode, host Asha Saxena is joined by Seth Dobrin, former Global Chief AI Officer at IBM, to unpack what it really means to build and deploy AI that does the most good and the least harm. They explore AI as a dual-use technology, how it can widen (or reduce) global and societal divides, and why organizations must move beyond slogans to real, enforceable AI governance.
Together they dive into building ethical AI frameworks, designing internal guardrails that actually have teeth, and aligning legal, regulatory, and organizational controls around high-risk use cases. Seth breaks down foundational and generative models, how enterprises should evaluate and adopt them, and why a “Hippocratic Oath for AI” may be essential for individual practitioners. For leaders and practitioners navigating rapid AI adoption, this episode offers a clear, candid look at accountability, risk, and the future of responsible AI.
