11 - Kristina Jovanovska: Good AI, Bad AI, Cancel Culture DEI & the AI Debate – What now?

Kristina is back on 25Minutes! In this episode, we talk about how AI has changed over the past three years and what makes AI “good” or “bad” in practice. Kristina shares how companies can use AI in a responsible way and why this is more important than ever.

We explore how artificial intelligence has evolved over the past three years: What makes AI helpful or harmful? How can companies use it responsibly? And what role does human decision-making still play in an AI-driven world? Kristina explains why responsible AI isn’t just a technical topic – it’s a leadership challenge that affects us all. 

We also dive into a topic that’s shaped many conversations in 2025: the backlash against Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and the rise of so-called cancel culture. Kristina shares her personal view as a woman in cybersecurity and tech leadership – and why she believes diverse teams are not just “nice to have,” but essential for building better, safer solutions. 

 👉 Note: I was on the road while recording, so there’s a slight echo on my side. It may sound like I’m talking over Kristina in some moments – but I promise, I wasn’t! Thanks for your understanding.
