Are you worried that using AI could undermine your hard-earned credibility as a thought leader? On this episode of Fewer Late Nights, Not Fewer Humans, host Alastair McDermott talks to Debbie Jenkins, an expert on authentic branding and author of the book "Stop the Credibility Crisis."
If you use AI during the writing process, does that mean you didn’t actually write it? Where exactly should we draw the line when using Artificial Intelligence in content creation?
How does an aspiring thought leader worried about staying authentic and credible in the age of AI? As artificial intelligence tools become increasingly sophisticated, the question arises: can we use these powerful technologies without compromising our unique insights and personal touch?r.
Can thought leaders use AI in an authentic way? Or is that a contradiction in terms?
The reality is that just like in every other field, AI's integration with thought leadership is inevitable. It's more a question of how it happens, rather than if it happens.
You might not be concerned about AI making your ideas obsolete.
But you might be concerned about the fact that AI can spit out really high quality content in seconds.
What then becomes of the human journey, and the intellectual labor creating and cultivating these insights? Is our role to be reduced to that of curator or editors of machine generated content and machine generated thinking?
I'm excited to share the trailer for my new show "Fewer Late Nights, Not Fewer Humans"! I'm going to speak with experts in thought leadership and in AI. The show will cover practical issues, I'll demonstrate some of the tools I use myself and talk to others about the tools that they're using, and we're going to explore the cutting edge of technology that's coming online now. We'll also cover the more difficult questions about ethical implications, intellectual property, upholding authenticity, and the future of thinking itself.
SHOW: Fewer Late Nights, Not Fewer Humans explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and thought leadership in the digital age. Join us as we have insightful conversations with ithought leaders and AI experts, and providing fresh perspectives on navigating the evolving landscape of AI.

Something About AI is about what happens when AI meets real work.
I’m Alastair McDermott, founder of HumanSpark AI. I work with businesses on AI, and I build with it…
Practical insights from using AI in the real world.
I spend a lot of my time helping people work out where AI is genuinely useful, where it creates new problems, and what happens when a promising experiment meets the reality of an everyday workplace.
This is not an AI news show.
In Something About AI, I share what I’m learning from building and using AI systems in my own business, alongside conversations with business leaders and practitioners who are putting AI to work in theirs.
We’ll look at what is worth automating, where human judgement still matters, how AI changes the way people work, and how you can tell whether something is actually working rather than simply looking impressive in a demo.
Some episodes are solo pieces. Some are interviews. Some start with a mistake, a failed experiment, or a question I haven’t quite answered yet.
I’m interested in what holds up in the real world.
And my philosophy is simple: technology should help humans. Radical, right?
Fewer late nights. Not fewer humans.
