How to Embrace AI Without Losing What Makes Us Human
Chad Capellman reflects on the personal and organisational implications of AI adoption, drawn from experiences across three major tech conferences. Using a voice-cloning tool to rehearse a presentation, he confronts AI’s uncanny ability to mirror ourselves, raising deeper questions about identity and humanity. His “wet fish” moment frames AI as not just technological but profoundly psychological.
Chad explores ethical concerns around data ownership, especially for marginalised communities, quoting Native AI researcher Michael Running Wolf: “Data is land.” He argues that organisations must treat data like a protected asset, not a free resource. Documentation also emerges as a foundational need, essential for long-term sustainability amid fast-moving AI adoption.
From humorous exchanges to sobering insights, Chad urges organisations to prioritise clarity, human values, and cultural resilience. Rather than automating away imperfections, he suggests designing systems that amplify what makes us human—creativity, memory, and humour.
