AI Lab Unfiltered

AI is now embedded in how we work—but that doesn’t mean it’s being used intentionally.

In this episode of AI Lab Unfiltered, Drew Veach and Pete Terryn explore how widespread AI adoption is changing decision-making, leadership, and responsibility. They unpack where AI truly adds value, where it quietly creates risk, and why defaulting to automation can weaken judgment instead of strengthening it.
