AI upskilling is broken.Too much tool talk, not enough human design.

In this episode of Tech Inspired, Priska Burkard sits down with Chantelle Larsen to unpack one of the most urgent questions in tech right now: how do we upskill for AI in a way that is actually useful, ethical, and built to last?

Chantelle cuts through the hype.

As Founder and CEO of Systematic-X and a Chief Human & AI Officer at heart, she is driving a radically different conversation - one that puts people, purpose, and real problem-solving back at the centre of AI transformation. From ethical AI governance to her AI Academy for entrepreneurs and small businesses, her work is all about helping humans build with AI, not disappear behind it.

🔍 What to expect in this episode:

• Why most AI upskilling misses the point - and what “human-first AI” looks like in practice
• The gap between buying AI tools and actually creating value with them
• Why entrepreneurs and small businesses need a different AI playbook than corporates
• How to build AI literacy that goes beyond prompts and actually changes how you work
• What responsible AI looks like when you strip away the buzzwords and get practical
• Why neurodivergent minds may have more to teach us about AI learning than we realise

This conversation is sharp, honest, and deeply human. It challenges the lazy narrative that AI transformation is just about adoption speed or tool fluency. Instead, it asks better questions: What are we solving? Who are we designing for? And what kind of future are we building together?
