The missing layer in AI safety isn’t code, it’s people.

AI systems are often celebrated for their guardrails those technical boundaries meant to prevent misuse or harm. But here’s the truth: guardrails alone don’t guarantee safety. Without human grounding ethical context, cultural sensitivity, and accountability these controls are brittle, easy to bypass, and blind to nuance.

In this episode, we explore why purely technical safeguards fall short, the risks of relying on machine-only boundaries, and how embedding human values into AI design builds true resilience. From healthcare decisions to financial compliance, discover why the future of safe, trustworthy AI isn’t just about better code, but about grounding technology in the wisdom and responsibility only humans provide.

Tune in to learn how we can shift from fragile guardrails to grounded, auditable frameworks for AI that truly serve society.
