| 5/5/26 | Rebecca Hinds, PhD: Avoiding the AI Productivity Trap | In this episode, host Shannon Peavey speaks with Professor Rebecca Hinds, PhD, a Stanford-trained organizational behavior expert and author of Your Best Meeting Ever. Rebecca, who runs the Glean Work AI Institute, explains why the future of AI at work is not about squeezing more productivity out of individuals, but about strengthening organizations as a whole. She shares her system for applying design principles to create effective meetings and illuminates the ways these can help leaders decide when technology enhances collaboration and when it risks undermining human trust, creativity, and emotion. She also highlights a growing body of research on how AI can expand access to insight and make work more effective – though today, she says, many organizations are getting it wrong. Instead of imposing AI from the top down, she argues that companies should empower employees to experiment, and that they should tolerate and even celebrate failure. Importantly, she says, organizations need to establish thoughtful guardrails that allow people to discover how these tools can truly help teams become more effective.01:56 First things first, the bad news on AI and meeting culture03:12 The good news on AI and meeting culture05:29 Why leaders need to think about meetings holistically07:10 Seven design principles to appy to meeting design10:16 The “Four-D, CEO” test for meetings13:41 Where AI can excel18:02 Thinking differently about human roles19:18 Why we should worry about “digital twins”20:45 Keeping human emotions in mind23:05 What can happen if you deprioritize people23:30 Psychological safety at work, and with AI at work26:09 The critical need to have AI policies 28:30 Enabling employees to find the value in AI30:54 Tolerating, even celebrating failure33:48 Collaboration with AI: an individual experience36:36 The future is managing agents37:38 Hope for a future of unparalleled insights40:26 Using AI to help the organization, rather than the individual42:48 Sharing resources and research📚Resources:Rebecca Hinds https://www.rebeccahinds.com/Stanford University http://www.stanford.eduThe Glean Work AI Institute https://www.workai.instituteRebecca’s book, “Your Best Meeting Ever” https://www.rebeccahinds.com/bookOrganizational psychologist Bob Sutton https://bobsutton.net/about-bob/Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmonsonhttps://amycedmondson.com/about/Wharton School of Business Professor Ethan Mollick https://x.com/emollick?lang=enCharter newsletterhttps://www.charterworks.com/🌟 Where to find Rebecca:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hinds/🙋🏻♀️Where to find Women in Product:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-product/posts/ Website https://womenpm.org/Join the Community https://womenpm.org/wip-community/ | — | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | Jen Gennai: Leading in AI’s Human Era | In 2017, before generative AI became a household term, Jen Gennai drafted Google’s original AI Principles. She was part of the effort to define what responsible AI should mean inside one of the most influential technology companies in the world. Now, years later, she is asking a more uncomfortable question. While companies race to deploy AI and governments work toward regulatory frameworks, who is seriously grappling with what this technology is doing to people and how they think, learn, and communicate? Jen argues that we are making progress on global rules and regulations. But we may NOT be moving fast enough on the human consequences. As an AI responsibility expert and consultant, she spends her time training leaders not just to adopt AI, but to build resilient cultures, to capture gains without eroding human capacities that make those gains meaningful.02:29 How Google’s original AI Principles came about07:13 Working cross-industry to up-level the market08:02 History may not repeat, but it rhymes09:35 Regulation: rules versus principles13:08 How federal law could solve some problems18:18 AI’s “harm categories”24:03 Why we need to think more about human impact26:49 Skills for the future: Resilience, analytics, communication, creative problem-solving31:38 Why we need more focus on training programs38:30 Should you say your business is AI-first?

| 4/21/26 | Practitioners Wanted: AI Ethics with AG Consulting's Angel Evan | What does it actually mean to build ethical, safe, and responsible AI inside a real company with real deadlines, revenue pressure, and competing priorities? In this episode, Shannon Peavey sits down with Angel Evan, AI Ethicist and Practice Lead at AG Consulting Partners. Angel works directly with Fortune 500 companies and major technology organizations to operationalize AI ethics inside product development teams. His focus is not on abstract principles, rather, it’s process, execution and decision-making under pressure.Together, Shannon and Angel explore:Why AI ethics cannot live only in policy documents or philosophical debatesHow organizations can establish common starting points even when morality is subjectiveThe role of product managers, engineers, and leaders in translating values into shipping decisionsWhat it looks like to embed ethical thinking into roadmaps, governance, and release cyclesWhy learning together across teams is more powerful than waiting for perfect consensusAngel brings deep knowledge of philosophy and ethical theory, but his work is grounded in practical application. How do you turn abstract frameworks into something that actually guides a sprint? How do you navigate competing incentives? How do you move from aspiration to implementation? If you are a product leader, technologist, or executive trying to build AI responsibly without slowing innovation to a halt, this conversation offers a candid look at what it takes to move from ideas to impact.00:00 Introduction 01:59 AI Ethics, Responsibility, Safety: Focusing on the human condition02:50 Turning baseline principles into real products04:13 What is fairness?05:50 The path from data science 06:50 How we calibrate “right” and “wrong” in organizations09:20 Finding a common starting point12:14 Find the threshold between risk and productivity15:42 What is AI literacy?17:05 Building your “ethical reasoning” muscles22:30 Cautious optimism📚Resources:AG Consulting https://agconsultingpartners.com/The Stanford University Human-centered AI (HAI) Index https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-indexAngel Evan’s Machines & Meaning podcast https://angelevan.com/podcast/The U.S. Government’s AI Literacy Framework https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/eta/eta20260213University of Edinburgh https://www.ed.ac.uk/🌟 Where to find Angel:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/angel-evan/🙋🏻♀️Where to find Women in Product:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-product/posts/ Website https://womenpm.org/Join the Community https://womenpm.org/wip-community/ | — | ||||||

| 4/7/26 | AI Safety in Practice with OpenAI's Tonia Osadebe | In this episode of Women in Product, host Shannon Peavey sits down with Tonia Osadebe, AI Safety Lead at OpenAI, for a candid and practical conversation about what it really means to build responsibly in fast moving AI environments. Tonia shares her path into AI Safety, from her early work on AI Agents and machine learning fairness to stepping into a role focused squarely on evaluating and mitigating risk in frontier systems. She reflects on her time at Google, including being part of the team navigating the widely discussed “Glue on Pizza” AI search result moment, and what those high visibility incidents teach teams about iteration, accountability, and resilience. At the heart of this conversation is a simple but powerful idea: safety work is collaborative. Tonia explains how cross functional teams come together to define acceptable risk, make principled tradeoffs, and agree to improve systems over time rather than striving for perfection before launch. 02:29 Where does safety start in a project?03:50 We’re mitigating - not eliminating - risk08:14 Trying not to break everything09:26 Let’s talk about glue on pizza11:34 What we don’t know YET14:06 How teams collaborate 19:02 We are not the “fun police”21:35 Tension is expected22:15 Measure where you can24:05 Sharing ownership25:15 Reflecting the real world 29:00 Access will change the way we dream32:50 Building safety into roadmap📚Resources:OpenAI - https://openai.com/Google AI Safety Principles - https://ai.google/safety/Google’s Pizza-Glue Scandal https://www.wired.com/story/google-cut-back-ai-overviews-before-pizza-glue/The U.S. Government’s AI Literacy Framework https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/eta/eta20260213🌟 Where to find Tonia:On LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonia-osadebe-a9b1a014/Where to find our host:Shannon Peavey - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spmad/🙋🏻♀️Where to find Women in Product:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-product/posts/ Website - https://womenpm.org/Join the Community - https://womenpm.org/wip-community/ | — | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | AI Ethics in Action: Alaska Airlines’ Shelby Tallent | What does it mean to be the person responsible for AI ethics inside a 30,000-person company? Shelby Tallent lives this every day. As the leader of AI ethics, responsibility, and compliance for Alaska Airlines, Shelby works at the intersection of technology, governance, and human trust. Her career across Amazon, Nordstrom, and TeleSign has shaped a perspective that blends policy rigor with product execution. In conversation with host Shannon Peavey, Shelby shares why AI ethics is not about slowing innovation but about guiding it. She explains how ethical value systems become practical decision frameworks, how individuals can hold their ground when goals conflict, and why keeping humans in the loop is not optional. AI should not be looked at as a way to “get us out of things,” she said, rather, we should let it expand our capacity to do what once felt impossible.00:00 Introduction 01:49 How Alaska Airlines structures the AI Safety & Compliance role02:18 The ways responsibilities map to company values04:45 Where foundational principles for AI implementation originate05:50 Navigating different AI rules per country07:32 The “9-to-5” of AI Responsibility13:02 Types of risk and how we mitigate16:30 A path of many hats23:00 Keeping humans in the loop29:30 Why we should be optimistic33:00 Shelby’s challenge to your thinking and approach📚Resources:Alaska Airlines - https://www.alaskaair.com/International Association of Privacy Professionals https://iapp.org/Cloud Security Alliance https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/The EU AI Act - https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/GDPR - https://gdpr-info.eu/AI.gov - https://www.ai.gov/Microsoft CoPilot https://copilot.microsoft.com/ FigJam https://www.figma.com/figjam/🌟 Where to find Shelby:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/shetallent/Where to find our host:Shannon Peavey - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spmad/🙋🏻♀️Where to find Women in Product:On LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-product/posts/ Website https://womenpm.org/Join the Community https://womenpm.org/wip-community/ | — | ||||||
