The Paradox of a more Empathetic AI rising amidst increasing Human Dehumanization

As I storm out of her house, anger surges through me like a relentless tide. The door slams shut behind me, its resounding echo a perfect mirror to the frustration I’m feeling right now. We’ve had arguments before... and she has always been upfront when it comes to the difficult conversations, but this felt different... like something broke. My heart races, matching the hurried rhythm of my footsteps as I descend the front steps. The cool night breeze prickles against my skin, a stark contrast to the heated exchange we just had. My mind is a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.                                                                  

Demystifying AI: A Beginner’s Guide to Navigating the Hype

You wake up to the gentle nudge of the alarm from your smartwatch, a feature fine-tuned to fit your sleep cycle. The room is dim, and you are barely awake. As you reach to silence the watch, you murmur, “Alexa, wake me up gently.” With that simple voice command, mapped to execute one of the several pre-programmed routines you've set up, the lights begin to brighten, and your favorite morning playlist starts to play through the integrated sound system.                                                                     

AI won’t replace you, people (you probably know) will:

AI's influence in Hollywood is growing at an astonishing pace, sparking concerns about a loss of human creativity and control. From analyzing audience preferences to crafting storylines and developing characters, concerns about the technology seem to have even led to the most recent strike among writers and actors. But are machines truly the driving force behind these changes, or is there a more human element at play?                                                                               

The AI Blueprint: 4 Key Elements for Building an Artificial Intelligence Corporate Strategy

Around 3 week ago I decided to embark on a specialization in AI Product Management from Duke University, (big shout-out to my alma matter Tecnológico de Monterrey for making this learning journey possible for me). As I dived into the student role again after all these years, I quickly realized two personal truths: First (despite all my experience) I’m still terrified of exams and pop quizzes, yet the rush and adrenaline of getting a good grade is oddly satisfying (“me asusta pero me gusta”, as we say in MX).

My Top 7 resolutions for 2023 that should be in any Product Manager’s list

This past week has been a bit of a nightmare for me. After almost 3 years of not being sick, one of my kids gave me the flu just before New Year’s Eve.
