At the recent Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) conference, I had the privilege of participating in an insightful panel discussion on the intersection of anthropology and artificial intelligence (AI). Alongside colleagues Sonja Hodgson, Archana Shah, and Lance L. Larkin, we explored the potential of AI, its limitations, ethical considerations, and the crucial role anthropologists can play in shaping this burgeoning technology. Key Takeaways: 💡 AI's capabilities are vast, but we must understand its limitations, particularly with language models, to use it effectively and responsibly. 🧭 Anthropologists' expertise in understanding human behavior and culture is invaluable in guiding the development of ethical, inclusive AI solutions. 🤝 Cross-disciplinary collaboration and diverse perspectives are essential for responsible AI innovation that benefits society. 🌟 Anthropologists should embrace skills like design and data science to contribute actively to AI projects and advocate for ethical practices. As AI continues to evolve, anthropologists have a unique opportunity to shape its trajectory. By leveraging our strengths, collaborating across disciplines, and staying informed, we can ensure AI development is grounded in truth, represents diverse perspectives, and upholds ethical standards.

Over the past few months, I took a brief hiatus from podcasting to focus on an exciting project: "EmTech Anthropology: Careers at the Frontier." This book, co-edited with Lora Koycheva, is now available for pre-order at Routledge Taylor & Francis Group. https://lnkd.in/esuTz_xF The book explores the intersection of #anthropology and emerging technologies, offering insights into the discipline's evolving role and the contributions of #anthropologists in shaping the future of EmTech through the career stories of early to mid-career anthropologists working in the field. I'm deeply grateful to our amazing chapter authors, Laura Musgrave, Lianne P., Melyn McKay (Ph.D.), Anne Johnson, Mujtaba Hameed, and Thomas Scott Hughes, PhD, for their innovative work. The chapters cover #conversationalai, #machinelearning, #cybersecurity, #blockchain, #robotics, #spacetech, #geneticengineering, and #biotech. My sincere thanks go to Julia Gluesing for her insightful foreword reinforcing the critical convergence of anthropology and technology and Kate Sieck, PhD for her profound conclusion that explores the many modalities for thinking about our roles at the intersection of EmTech and anthropology. I also must thank Timothy de Waal Malefyt, Elizabeth K. Briody, Ph.D., Jay Hasbrouck, Dan Podjed, Louise Vang Jensen, and Anders Kristian Munk for their support and very kind endorsements. Finally, a very heartfelt acknowledgment to Lora Koycheva for her partnership and dedication throughout this project. Our collaboration has been nothing short of inspiring and enjoyable. Just like with my podcasts, I hope this book helps readers find their way in the business world, offering insights and inspiration to carve out their own path at the crossroads of anthropology and tech. And with this mostly being wrapped up, I'm excited to dive back into podcasting! #EmergingTechnologies #AppliedAnthropology #Innovation #Careers
