Matt Arnold serves as principal for services strategies and solutions at Brightidea, whose mission is to transform the way the world innovates. Matt has over 25 years of experience leading innovation and design projects with many of the world’s top brands.

In this webcast,  Carol Smith, Carrie Gardner, and Michael Mattarock discuss maturing artificial intelligence (AI) practices based on our current body of knowledge. Much as it did for software engineering in the 1980s, the SEI has begun formalizing the field of AI engineering, beginning with identifying three fundamental pillars to guide AI engineering: human-centered, scalable, and robust and secure. Watch to learn more about these pillars and how they can be used to help national defense and security agencies adopt and develop AI.

On this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Rebecca Midles is joined by Dr. Ulcca Joshi Hansen, the Chief Program Officer at Grantmakers for Education. She is also the author of The Future of Smart: How Our Education System Needs to Change to Help All Young People Thrive. 

Ulcca has a career built upon learner-centered and inclusive education policies and her new book looks for ways to incorporate those human-centered approaches alongside social justice and large-scale education reform. 

Let’s listen in as they discuss identity, definitions of indigenous, codification of learning and more. 

Emily Taylor, the principal of teenyBIG, is passionate about helping nonprofits find better ways to engage the people who matter to them. She guides teams in stepping outside of their day-to-day work in order to create stronger connections with their audiences, turning lackluster followers into enthusiastic supporters.

Emily teaches organizations how to apply human-centered design, a process that re-evaluates the experience of a product or service’s end user. She designs and facilitates workshops to help teams understand and expand the user experience and offers coaching packages to further guide that process.

Emily’s approach in this area is based on her background working in nonprofit management and industrial design. In the private and nonprofit sectors, she has helped design user-focused campaigns on everything from bicycle safety and arts advocacy to community chambers.

She has a bachelor’s degree in industrial design from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Emily serves on the board of the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits, where she helps lead the organization’s outreach to Chicago-area organizations. She is also an active community organizer in the Chicago neighborhood where she lives with her family.

Here’s what to expect during the episode:

• What is “human-centered design”, and does it apply to nonprofits?
• Seeing things from the stakeholder’s perspective. How does your target audience enjoy the experience?
• Points in integrating proper engagement into your organization.
• The underrated value of reminding people of their opportunity to give.
• The technical side of engagement – understand where people are seeing you!
• Providing ways for your staff to feel comfortable to give feedback.

Why Brian is Fiercely Human:

Brian Patrick Murphy is the "Master of Motivation" and Co-Founder of the Zuckerberg Institute, an online entrepreneurial leadership academy, alongside the well-known Randi Zuckerberg. He is also a co-founder of the magical Mark Fisher Fitness in NYC and a co-founder of Congregation Coaching. He has transitioned in and out of many roles in his life; successful actor, college professor, beloved personal trainer, life coach and entrepreneur. But more than anything, he is a magical human being, who embodies playfulness, joy, strength, compassion, humor, vulnerability and a fierce commitment to the transformative power of building a community of leaders, and anyone who meets him or hears him speak knows his authenticity is at the very core of his success. He is a graduate of The University of Mississippi, and if you like to smile, he can be found in the famous country music video "Giddy On Up".

In this episode, here is what we cover:

• Brian’s magical and synchronistic journey from successful actor to co-founder of Zuckerberg Institute.
• The importance of exercise as a practice in how we show up to life, not just for our bodies.
• The incredibly important lessons that are found in discomfort.
• How “human connectivity” as a driving value creates more joy and success.
• The crucial question we must ask ourselves about our careers and what is driving us.
• Why owning who we are is so much more important that what we know. 
• How actions show us what we value more than what we claim to value.
• The inevitable emergence of our personal “gremlins” as we emerge as leaders.
• How parenthood shifts and clarifies our deeper values at rapid speed. 
• The impact of conscious, people-first leadership and businesses and how that creates a ripple effect. 
• The impact one makes on the world when offering entrepreneurial and educational opportunities to people who may not have the resources or opportunities otherwise. 
• How do we differentiate between a fear-based motivation and a love-based motivation?
