Here on Fixable, we've addressed countless tough problems people face at work. One of the toughest problems companies deal with is when leaders don't see eye to eye. We know you enjoyed our previous episode about OpenAI, so we thought we'd share more insight into how the company behind ChatGPT went about solving their leadership problem on this episode from The TED AI Show, a new podcast from the TED Audio Collective. Former board member and AI policy expert Helen Toner joins host Bilawal Sidhu to discuss the existing knowledge gaps and conflicting interests between those who are in charge of making the latest technology – and those who create our policies at the government level.

The TED AI Show helps you decipher what’s just hype and what's about to fundamentally change our world when it comes to AI. Creative technologist Bilawal Sidhu talks with the world’s leading experts, artists, journalists, and more to explore the thrilling, sometimes terrifying, future ahead. Listen to the TED AI Show wherever you get your podcasts.

Whether it's a hiccup at your job or a systemic issue that affects everyone you know, we've all encountered obstacles that just seem impossible to overcome. This week, Anne and Frances are joined by Master Fixer, journalist, and Revisionist History host Malcolm Gladwell, who shares his experience tackling big, complex challenges -- from rethinking homelessness in America to dysfunction in college ranking systems.
