Ok, here we go! Episode One of AI-generated podcasts about…AI! I used Google NotebookLM to create an audio overview of three talks from the incredibly insightful breakout sessions I emceed at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies NYC Summit last week. It’s giving robot morning show host banter, and I like it! These talks, focused on AI, data, and UX, highlight a common theme: slow down to speed up—whether it’s in tech development, data strategy, or user research, taking a thoughtful, measured approach leads to better results. Here’s what the podcast covers: 1️⃣ The AI Solution Trap: Shifting to the Problem Space Rio Cruz Morales 🧑🏽🔬🏳️⚧️ explores how businesses are rushing into AI without truly understanding the problems they’re trying to solve. In their talk, Rio emphasizes the importance of slowing down to assess the real issues before diving into AI solutions. 💡It’s not about having the latest AI; it’s about solving the right problems with the right tools. 2️⃣ The Data Advantage: Elevating Advertising Strategies Rory Kohl lays out the evolving landscape of data-driven advertising, explaining how first-party data is now the star of the show. By balancing data use with privacy concerns, Rory shows how brands can gain a competitive edge without sacrificing consumer trust. 📊 Data is the key to personalization, but responsible data governance ensures long-term success. 3️⃣ Guerrilla UX: Uncovering User Insights with Agile Research Methods Yvonne Doll shares her scrappy approach to UX research, advocating for quick, iterative insights without slowing down development. Her concept of "standing research days" reminds teams to make research a habit, not an afterthought. 👥Agile research helps teams uncover the real user pain points and avoid confirmation bias, all while staying nimble. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think. And stay tuned for more weird robot podcasts! #lwtsummit #lesbianswhotech #ai #datastrategy #agileux #agileresearch
