Episode 22: The true value of AI lies more in thorough testing and evaluation than in coding or prompting, with Dr. Shea Brown, BABL AI CEO
I got the opportunity to talk to Dr. Shea Brown, former astrophysics professor, and founder of BABL AI, for a sharp look at AI accountability. Shea shares his journey from studying the cosmos to interrogating AI systems, pointing out how scientific skepticism must carry over into today's tech landscape. At BABL AI, he leads efforts to audit and govern AI to ensure it serves human interests, especially in high-stakes areas like hiring, credit scoring, and public services. With real-world examples and hands-on audit methods, Shea explains how AI systems often fail silently and how risk-based auditing can surface hidden harms. Shea hopes for a future where regulation, education, and responsible inno, education, and responsible innovation work hand in hand for human flourishing.
