Human and The Machine
The age of intelligent machines is here, rewriting the rules of how we work, create, and live. But amidst all this progress, one urgent question remains: what does it mean to stay human in a world shaped by AI and who gets left behind? I’m Cien, co-founder of LaunchLemonade and AI Transformation Expert. In The Machine and Us, I’ll explore this question through conversations with human experts, AI pioneers, and sometimes AI itself.

- Are we engineering our own...
The world is shifting at a pace we’ve never seen before. AI isn’t just assisting us anymore. It’s thinking, creating, and making decisions. Some call it the greatest opportunity in history. Others warn it’s the start of our own irrelevance.
