Making Responsible AI Scalable!

In this snippet, John Hearty, Vice President & Head of AI Governance at Mastercard, talks about the surge in AI adoption following generative models like GPT-3.5, and why governance had to evolve just as fast.

At Mastercard, the focus is on making it easier to build and procure responsible AI.

That means providing teams and partners with the right tools, guidance, and support to pass rigorous validation.

John shares how their generative AI evaluation service helps both internal teams and third parties ensure AI systems are effective, transparent, and reliable, reducing hallucinations and increasing confidence in real-world use.

Responsible AI isn’t just a principle. It’s a practice.

AI Can Generate. Creatives Define ‘Good.’

In this snippet, Andy Hood, Vice President of Emerging Technologies at WPP, explains the real role of AI in creative production.

Yes, tools like top-tier video generators can create impressive scenes. To most people, they look good enough. But a trained director sees the gaps, in framing, pacing, lighting, sound, and storytelling.

Andy’s point is clear:

👉 AI can handle much of the legwork in the middle.

👉 Human expertise defines the vision and knows when it’s right.

The future isn’t AI replacing creativity, it’s AI wrapped inside a thoughtful production process.

Adapt Fast or Get Left Behind!

In this snippet, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, explains why organizations struggle when change accelerates, and why startups keep winning. He points to slow, rigid systems where decisions take months or even years, while the world moves in real time.

That gap fuels creative destruction: startups adapt fast, and legacy players fall behind.

Sam predicts many large companies will spend years resisting AI’s impact, until a last-minute scramble makes it too late.

He sees the same pattern in people, too. The generational divide in how AI tools are used today mirrors the early days of smartphones, and it’s just as stark. The takeaway?

👉 Adapt early.

👉 Experiment fast.

👉 Or be overtaken by those who already have.

Why Every AI Project Needs an Ethics Committee

In this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, stresses why AI ethics committees shouldn’t be optional.

He shares that every project he’s worked on included one, because it’s extremely difficult for companies to ethically assess their own products in isolation. Independent voices matter.

By collaborating with external experts, including the University of Bath, and bringing in outside perspectives, Matthew believes companies can build stronger, more trustworthy AI systems.

His advice is clear:

👉 Set up an AI ethics committee.

👉 Invest in independent input.

👉 Make ethics a core part of your AI program.

Building Match Hubs That Put Partners First

In this snippet, Rollo Goldstaub, Global Head of Sports Partnerships at TikTok, explains how TikTok is rethinking sports discovery with match hubs.

These hubs live on high-traffic pages and connect fans directly to broadcasters.

🏟️ When a game is live, scores are shown, and one tap can take users to partners like NBC in the U.S. to watch Olympics coverage.

📅 When it’s not live, fans can save the match to their calendars.

Rollo highlights that TikTok’s priority isn’t just pace or flashy tech, it’s being the most valuable partner possible for publishers and broadcasters by building products that truly meet their needs.

Why Creatives Need Both Structure & Freedom

In this snippet, Samuel Beek, Chief Product Officer at VEED, shares a key insight on creative work: Creativity thrives on constraints and space.

A few guardrails help guide ideas but creatives also need a blank canvas to truly express themselves. Samuel explains how VEED once relied on highly restrictive templates. While they looked great and performed well on social media, users didn’t love them.

The learning?

True creative satisfaction comes from choice, flexibility, and freedom, not just polished outcomes.
