Join us for the Next AI Era Workshop: GPT Ecosystems (use coupon code “podcast” to get in for only $1)__________________________________________________________________________________This week I’m thrilled to introduce you to Andrew Bartle, longtime entrepreneur and software developer who’s been exploring how artificial intelligence can empower creators — without compromising ethics or security. He’s passionate about transparency, responsible AI, and helping people understand the technology shaping the next era of business.And more importantly, he and I have been building a new AI platform that we’re so excited to share with you!!!You’ve heard me share how much I use AI tools like ChatGPT in my business — from writing show notes to managing workflows — but I’ve also been feeling the tension between innovation and integrity. As creators, so much of what we share online comes from our own intellectual property: our ideas, frameworks, and hard-won experience. And yet, we rarely stop to ask: where does all that information actually go?In this conversation, Andrew and I dig into the real-world risks and responsibilities of using generative AI as creators. We talk about what happens behind the curtain of tools like ChatGPT, what “AI governance” even means, and why protecting your IP and your audience’s data has to be part of the creative process.It’s not about fear, it’s about awareness. AI can be an incredible support system when we understand how to use it wisely, with clear boundaries and ownership in place.What You’ll LearnWhy creators need to think critically about data privacy and ownershipThe hidden risks of uploading your work to open AI platformsWhat “responsible AI” looks like in everyday business useSimple ways to check if a tool aligns with your values and data standardsHow to stay creative and innovative without giving away your IP>>Your Next Steps:Train AI to sound like you (in under 2 hours) with BrandCalibrator™ Let’s chat about your custom visibility plan: https://tidycal.com/ksco/discovery-call Get visible without social media Connect on Instagram>>Thanks for Listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please help us share it by: Following the show—this helps you stay updated and supports us!
