Navigating AI Ethics: Human-Centered Design, Regulation, and the Price of Innovation with Erica Shoemate

This week on To The Point Cybersecurity Podcast, hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher sit down with Erica Shoemate—international bestselling author, tech policy leader, and advocate for maternal health—to tackle the hot-button issues surrounding AI and cybersecurity. From headline-making resignations at leading AI companies to the complexities of human-centered design, ethics, and regulation, Erica Shoemate brings her unique insight from years in national security and big tech. Join us as we dig into concerns about innovation versus profit, the pitfalls of monetizing user data, and the ever-evolving guardrails around generative AI. We'll explore whether current regulations are enough to protect consumers—especially children—and what tech leaders should be thinking about as AI reshapes the landscape. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that's equal parts cautionary tale and call to action for more transparent, ethical leadership in technology.
