What does it really mean to lead in the age of AI? In this deeply insightful episode, Dr. Sophie Fenton from Amicus joins us to explore the human side of AI adoption in education and the workplace. From her unique background spanning classroom teaching, school leadership, university strategy, and corporate consulting, Sophie offers a compelling case for starting with the human, not the tool. We talk about what it means to create intentionally human contexts for AI, how leadership styles need to adapt, and why soft skills are quickly becoming our most powerful asset. Sophie unpacks the concept of "human experience" departments, AI ethics, and why education must return to its philosophical roots if we're to thrive in a digital future.
