AISW Interview Guidelines
Our AI, Software, & Wetware (AISW) interview series was launched on August 1, 2024. This page summarizes our series, how & when we publish, what we mean by “AI”, and what kinds of interview guests are a good fit (spoiler: anyone)!
This page will be updated with links whenever new interview posts are published:
A new ”AI, Software, & Wetware” LinkedIn newsletter will also be updated at least once a week with links to new interviews.
Interview Scope
For purposes of these interviews, “AI” encompasses traditional data analytics, statistical methods, and machine learning, as well as generative AI and other non-generative AI. See our AI Glossary or ask if you’re not sure if your interactions with AI tools and systems are relevant. They probably are: AI is so pervasive nowadays, it’s hard to avoid! See ”But I don’t use AI”: 8 Sets of Examples of Everyday AI, Everywhere.
Publishing Notes
Guests for some posts are anonymous. Their interviews are text only, no audio.
Some interviews are credited, not anonymous, and also text only (if guest chooses).
Some interviews are credited and have both text and audio. Audio is available directly in each Substack post, and if a guest opts in, it will also be shared via the 6P external podcasts. Interviews which include audio are marked with 🗣️ below and in the post titles.
Guests may opt to include their profile pictures, other photos and artwork, site or book or art links, or the standard interview series photo at the bottom of this page. (Obviously, no profile photos for anonymous posts ;)
Interview Guests
We want our interviews to include a diverse set of people from many locations worldwide and across a broad range of roles, occupations, and industries. Technical background or expertise is not required 😊
Do YOU have an opinion about the benefits and harms of AI tools, or a story to tell about using AI (or having AI use your info and content)? Since AI is everywhere and in so many tools and systems nowadays, everyone’s entitled to an opinion about AI and has stories to tell (whether they realize it or not).
Let’s chat about you being a featured guest in a future interview! Or if you know someone whose voice should be heard about AI, please introduce us!
FAQ for potential guests is now available here:
