How Should You Use AI in Your Business? Don’t Replace Your Team

Day 8 of 100. What happens when technology starts moving faster than we can process it? In this conversation with Camille Stewart Gloster, former Deputy National Cyber Director for Technology & Ecosystem Security at the White House, we go beyond the hype around AI and talk about something I think we all need to remember: we still have agency. Camille and I talk about why guardrails, governance, security, and human oversight aren't just things for big companies or policymakers to worry about. They're part of how we protect ourselves and make sure technology actually serves us. If you've been thinking about AI and wondering what your role is in all of this, I think you'll want to sit with us for this one. 00:00 — Show introduction and guest welcome 01:47 — First impressions of the book and AI’s impact on artists 04:06 — Why Camille wrote the book and her cybersecurity background 08:44 — Personal AI use, digital footprints, and permissions 10:23 — Treating digital safety like physical safety 11:38 — Whether small businesses actually need AI agents 13:34 — The ACE framework: governing and managing AI agents 17:26 — Accountability, user advocacy, and building guardrails 21:26 — Human oversight, the workforce, and responsible adoption 24:53 — Limiting AI access, especially around email and spending 25:59 — Revoking access and reducing personal-data exposure 28:16 — Ownership, copyright, and creating with AI 29:52 — AI moving from digital tools into the physical world 32:06 — Digital fluency, education, and critical thinking 37:10 — Clear prompts, boundaries, and personal agency 39:21 — Making cybersecurity accessible beyond technical audiences 41:59 — The future of AI: risks, optimism, and course correction 45:20 — International governance and how the book came together 47:52 — Camille’s White House and government experience 51:06 — The myth of control when using autonomous agents 52:47 — AI as an extension of a team, not a replacement 54:26 — Closing thoughts and where to find Camille’s work More about Camille: https://camillestewartgloster.com/about Get your copy of the "Insider You Built": https://camillestewartgloster.com/the...
