How do we, as business leaders and innovators, govern emerging technology with a moral compass? In this powerful and deeply thoughtful episode, Conor Gaughan sits down with Paolo Carozza—legal scholar, human rights advocate, Notre Dame professor, and co-chair of the Oversight Board—to explore what responsibility looks like in a time of rapid AI transformation.

Together, they unpack:

• The radical promise (and challenge) of the Oversight Board as a new model of tech governance
• What AI means for labor, human dignity, and democracy
• How to find consensus across cultures in the face of global complexity
• Why we must develop new institutions for an interconnected world
• And how we can each foster deeper dialogue to find hope in uncertain times

If you're a business leader, innovator, policymaker, or just a curious mind wondering how we build a better future with this fast-emerging technology, this episode is for you.
